The possibility that it is remastered after all, but they intentionally didn't mention it, so we would discuss about it, doesn't seem that far-fetched anymore.

I'm not sure what to make of sillywhite's tweet. If he's correct, it's encouraging news. On the other hand, his wording is a bit odd to me..."As far as I know...". Seems to me if he had direct knowledge of it, he'd just say so. Though he certainly is in a position to know (presumably), it's also possible he's just assuming.
The Amazon situation just makes it even more confusing. Amazon.com has specifically removed "Original Recording Remastered" from all the various versions of this set, but the international sites, including the Canadian and UK sites, continue to have some, but not all, the versions listed as remasters.
I don't have my actual discs handy, but has anyone looked at the liner notes to the other remasters? How is the new mastering described? "Additional mastering by..." or something like that?

I can't see them doing that. Afterall, they must surely know that only the hardcore fans are going to buy these super/uber boxsets, and by NOT announcing the remaster they risk pissing us off (and, more importantly to them, risk losing potential orders). If if HAS or WILL BE remastered, then I put it down to their marketing team being very slack and not on the ball in their failure to make it clear.The possibility that it is remastered after all, but they intentionally didn't mention it, so we would discuss about it, doesn't seem that far-fetched anymore.

Yes indeed, but everything about it is just very weird. First everyone announced/assumed it was a remaster, then suddenly it appears not to be one, and now there start people claiming it's a remaster after all. It really doesn't make any sense at all.
Whatever it'll be, it's a fact the marketing team is slack.

Interesting...thanks for posting these. At least it tells us that we will know for sure when the thing finally comes out, as the liner notes on previous remasters clearly indicate them being as such...and being supervised by The Edge.

Interesting. That's the same one as the Santa Monica guy right?

Yes. But that's widely/publicly available info, also.
The week has passed. Were they there? Absolutely no-one, not one single soul, saw or heard anything?

Interresting news revealed today by ANDREW FLETCHER (Member of DEPECHE MODE)during a press conference!
So today, excerpts of a press conference with Fletch in Belarus have been uploaded on Youtube. He was there to DJ.
In this excerpt, someone asks "Depeche Mode have never done any covers. Why?"
Fletch says: "We have done a couple. We were lucky to have very strong songwriters, so we had no need to do any covers. But we have just done a cover version of a U2 track, which will be released in November."

If that is for the rumoured AB cover project (and I think it is), then which song? I can see them doing Zoo Station.
Who else did we have some kind of confirmation on? Coldplay (no substantial evidence, I think) and Glasvegas are the other two, I believe.

i think personal jesus would be more appropriate for bono to sing.

For lyrics yes, but I'm not sure for vocals. Of course they could change the song out of recognition and find a way.

I only appreciated Speak and Spell, or playing music through little devices a good thirty years after the album release. GO DM.

I could see Bono snippeting (or maybe roughing it on acoustic) "Somebody".
And even if not, I fucking love that song.

Omg Depeche Mode doing an AB song. That's awesome.
But which song.. hm, Love is Blindness definitely seems a good choice. Or perhaps Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses.
