On February 17, Depeche Mode will open the 10th season of concerts organized by the charity Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall in London. On this occasion, and in support of this cause, Depeche Mode and Hublot have joined forces to produce twelve exclusive boxed sets. Inside the exquisitely designed presentation boxes, Depeche Mode fans will find a treasure chest of exclusive materials chosen by the band. Each box contains:
– A deluxe vinyl version of the album
– A USB Key containing a digital edition of the album and documentary about the making of the album
– An original album artwork print and a framed gold CD.
– A photograph signed by all members of the group who contributed to the album, including Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder.
Geneva-based auction house Patrizzi & Co. and Liveauctioneers.com have graciously donated their time and energy to this noble cause. All proceeds from this unique auction, which closes February 24, will be presented to the Teenage Cancer Trust on February 26 at the penultimate concert of Depeche Mode’s “Sounds of The Universe Tour” in Dusseldorf.
