The first seven groundbreaking titles from electronic pop legends Erasure are now available on vinyl via BMG! Previously only available as imports - Wonderland (1986), The Circus (1987), The Innocents (1988), Wild! (1989), Chorus (1991), I Say I Say I Say (1994) and Erasure (1995) - come pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl.
Wild! is Erasure's fourth studio album and the one that spawned the classic singles "Blue Savannah," "Drama!" and "Star." It continued the group's mainstream success, following their breakthrough album The Innocents the year before. The band were, by this time, a household name, with Wild! becoming their second consecutive No. 1 album in the UK, going double platinum, and its four singles all hitting the Top 20.
Clarke was a synth-pop pioneer prior to forming Erasure and wrote nearly all of the songs on Depeche Mode's iconic first album, Speak and Spell, before moving on to form Yazoo with Alison Moyet (Yaz in the US). Remarkably Clarke found Bell by placing a newspaper ad. The flamboyant Bell was among pop's first openly gay stars, and his high-pitched voice has a soulful power that's an arresting complement to Clarke's inspired melodies.
