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.

Notes
- All songs were written by Martin Gore, except for "Just Can't Get Enough" and "Photographic" written by Vince Clarke.
- Track 4 is the "Different Mix" of the song, although it is written as "People Are People (12" version)" on the artwork.
- Though a video for the single version of "People Are People" was made, the label decided to use the "Different Mix" of the video. The original video was never released on a public video until the DVD The Best of Depeche Mode Volume 1 in 2006.
- "Photographic" is taken from the video The World We Live In and Live in Hamburg, released in the same year.
- All videos were directed by Clive Richardson, except for "Shake the Disease" and "It's Called a Heart" directed by Peter Care.
- None of the videos by Julien Temple were included in the compilation. Alan Wilder once commented on the videos, when asked about them on his website:
- "You can pretty much lump all the Julian Temple videos ("See You", "The Meaning of Love", and "Leave in Silence") into one collective disaster."
- Though "Get the Balance Right!" was directed by Kevin Hewitt, it was not included either as it was not very well liked by the band.
