The other "best of" collections are Catching Up with Depeche Mode, The Singles 81>85 People Are People (album) and The Singles 86>98.

I wouldn't call PaP a "best-of" as it was just an album to present the band to the US audience and it didn't even include some of their major hits to this time. The same with CUWDM, which is just the US analogue of The Singles 81>85 (they even have the same cover). There were other analogues to 81>85 aswell, like "Greatest Hits" in East-Germany (which, again, had the exact same cover) and "The Singles" in Brazil. So CUWDM and TS81>85 are the same compilation with the name and tracklist slightly differing from region to region.

I agree, so I went ahead and changed "best of" to "compilation," which is how we should describe non-studio, non-live collections of songs by a single artist. I also attempted to make the grammar a bit more consistent although it still sounds very choppy. I might come back and spruce things up after the album's chart history is known. FYI - the live album, '101' was known as 'Hits Live' in France for some reason. Jackbox1971 21:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
