A Blancmange remix of Rain sounds exciting!

Re: Amazon's promotion for the release

28 songs - 3 minutes...

Looks like they've done some editing to the songs.

Interesting release! But will it come out? Even re-releases tend to get a little promotion from the band such as the odd interview here and there. Although Andy could do these solo, I'd have thought a few weeks from now might be a little early for even Andy to feel comfortable talking all things Erasure at this point. ie. he's bound to be asked about Vince, the future of the band, the next album (which, sadly, I guess is somewhat on hold).

Hope that's not the case, but wouldn't be surprised based on Vince's understandable personal situation.

A completely understandable delay, and one we probably all expected. Just hope Vince and Family are doing alright.

ERASURE: THE EXPANDED EDITION OF ERASURE'S 'COWBOY' ALBUM REISSUE HAS BEEN DELAYED
It was our intention to announce the release of 'Cowboy', the latest in our ongoing series of expanded CD and digital editions of the Erasure album album catalogue, a couple of weeks ago. In the current circumstances it doesn't feel right to be celebrating a new release so we have put those plans on hold and 'Cowboy' will be rescheduled to a later date. In the usual scheme of things I wouldn't have even mentioned it today, however when we made the decision to delay the release it wasn't possible to pull the album from all the streaming and download services straight away which meant that, for the short time it took until we could take it down again, the album appeared online. Obviously that was confusing and I received a lot of messages asking for clarification. I hope this explains the situation, and apologies for any confusion. We will announce the new release schedule when we have one.

The inclusion of 'Heart Of Glass' live at the end there on the track listing doesn't make me feel very optimistic about the Tiny Tour DVD being part of the physical release, which would of course include the same track. But still hoping!
