The Singles 86-98

The Singles 86>98 is a greatest hits album by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 28 September 1998 by Mute Records. It serves as a follow-up to the band's previous compilation, The Singles 81→85, which was also reissued in the same year. The compilation covers the band's seven-inch single releases spanning five studio albums, while including the new song "Only When I Lose Myself". It also includes "Little 15" from Music for the Masses, which was released as a single in France only, but charted in the UK based on import sales, and the live version of "Everything Counts" from the live album 101, which was released as a single in 1989. All the tracks on The Singles 86>98 were newly remastered, as was the case with the re-release of The Singles 81→85. The band decided to release the album as a close follow-up to Ultra, Depeche Mode's first studio album after Alan Wilder's departure and Dave Gahan's drug addiction and resulting health problems, to maintain interest in the band.
