1x DOUBLE VINYL LP ERASURE AND 1 X SINGLE LP OTHER PEOPLE'S SONGS. BRAND NEW AND STILL SEALED WITH ULTRA RARE SIGNED PRINT LIMITED TO JUST 50 FOR THE WORLD.
Erasure is the seventh studio album by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, originally released in 1995 and produced by Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Wire) and Thomas Fehlmann (The Orb).
A double LP, Erasure finds the boys in experimental and introspective form, with lush instrumentation that is undoubtedly influenced by the ‘90s dance/electro scene with its heavy basslines and occasional rave motifs, but still uniquely Clarkian in terms of composition. Andy’s voice rings out as clear and true as ever, sometimes in the company of guest vocalists Diamanda Galas and the London Community Gospel Choir.
Although Erasure was a sonic departure from the catchy synth pop of its predecessors, its symphonic – and sometimes ambient – style makes it a favourite among Erasure fans.
Originally conceived as a solo project for Andy Bell, Other People’s Songs became Erasure’s 10th studio album when Vince Clarke got involved.
Vince and Andy chose tracks that had influenced them as musicians and, as a result, the album contains songs by artists as diverse as Buddy Holly (True Love Ways), Peter Gabriel (Solsbury Hill), The Righteous Brothers (You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’) and Buggles (Video Killed The Radio Star). The eclectic mix of songs is brought together as a cohesive whole, of course, by Vince’s distinctive instrumentation and Andy Bell’s unmistakable voice.
Produced by Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Wire) and Erasure, the album went Top 20 in the UK and Germany when it was released in 2003.
