They are now back in England, mixing the live album and making plans for a new studio album to be recorded later this year.

RELEASE INFO
Depeche Mode "Everything Counts"
Single Released on 13 February 1989 in the UK
During the Music for the Masses Tour, the band used "Everything Counts" as the final encore and in 1989, the song would be re-released as a single in live form, to promote the live album 101. All live tracks from the release were recorded on 18 June 1988 at the Pasadena Rose Bowl during the final performance of the aforementioned Music for the Masses Tour. This version of the song is famous for the recording of the crowd continuing to sing the chorus long after the music had stopped.
This was the first UK Depeche Mode release to be released on the 10 inch vinyl format. Inside of the fliptop cover of the numbered 10 inch release was a window decal, and some postcards.
The "Remix Edit" of "Nothing" is exactly that - a short version. The "In Larger Amounts" version of "Everything Counts" (on the 10" single) is the original 1983 12 inch mix. The "Reprise" of "Everything Counts" is the beatless reprise end part of the 1983 original 12 inch mix.
