Thanks in advance

Im in the process of putting up all the variants but as far as I can see it’s just the colour of the sleeve,no extra tracks which is odd I don’t think that’s ...

I think it will be more like the 2020 Vince with him on a big screen playing live from New York (when Andy was singing live in the UK), or, more likely, seen controlling the music direction from home in San Diego. He'll be 8 or 9 hours behind most of the shows, so effectively will be playing at ...

Seem like the kind of thing they should have made clear at the outset.

Ah... so this is just the original album topped up with b-sides. On vinyl. That's £40 I can save then!

Ugh.. sorry, posting a pet peeve here - but I wish people would learn to use that Erasure font properly!

I can remember, back in the day, when Vince announced he'd written some new songs but Andy hadn't heard them yet. I wonder how far they've got with that.

We had two albums where Erasure didn't tour, because Vince didn't want to. He's famously said he never liked touring back then, and felt he'd reached a stage where he didn't have to anymore. That was when he was still quite young! Luckily for us, at some point he apparently fell in love with it, and ...

Of course, I doesn't mean Andy won't tour again though.

...and back in the day, Vince's 'dream' was that that's the way he'd like it to be - he just wanted to program everything in advance then let the singer go and do the tours!

I wasn't sure it was a John Fleming mix but discogs had it listed as such for some reason.


It is still technically still the John Fleming mix in the Hits megamix - but it was Mark Towns who mixed the alternative vocals over the top of it. How are why he was given those vocals is a mystery ...
