Background


The single launched a small world tour, with extra band member Alan Wilder,[8] although he did not contribute to the song or the album. There are three versions of "See You" – the 7-inch single version (3:55), the album version (4:34), and an extended 12-inch version with a longer intro (4:50). The "Extended Version" and the "Album Version" are almost the same. The "Album Version" fades out about 20 second before the 12-inch remix does.

The B-side to "See You" is "Now, This Is Fun". The extended version has a longer bridge in the middle and an extended ending, with Dave Gahan sometimes shouting "This is funny!" instead of "This is real fun!" Before release, "Now, This Is Fun" was called "Reason For Fun".

The video for "See You" was directed by Julien Temple.[9] It was also the first video with Alan Wilder. He can be seen briefly playing the piano and he also appears in several photo booth strips. The first part of the video was filmed at Hounslow railway station in London. At the beginning of the video there is a speakerphone, much like the one on the cover of Music for the Masses, released five years later. The band did not like the video, and it did not show up on the 1985 video compilation Some Great Videos, which included the band's videos up to 1985 except the "A Broken Frame" singles and "Get the Balance Right".
