Some Great Videos is the first music video compilation by Depeche Mode, featuring ten music videos directed by Clive Richardson or Peter Care, released on 14 October 1985.[2] It coincides with The Singles 81→85.

There are ten videos in the original version, the first video "Just Can't Get Enough", and all videos from "Everything Counts" in 1983 to "It's Called a Heart" in 1985. There's also a bonus live video of "Photographic", and the US release includes the video to "A Question of Lust".

To coincide with the re-release of The Singles 81→85 (1998), Some Great Videos was re-released as Some Great Videos 81>85. The track list is the same as the original UK version, but the artwork is all from the re-released The Singles 81→85.

The album does not feature any of the Julien Temple videos for the A Broken Frame singles, "See You", "The Meaning of Love" and "Leave in Silence", due to the band's distaste for them.
