Andy Bell was out and proud from the get-go, fronting synth-pop duo Erasure who sold over 20 million albums and had an incredible 17 Top 10 singles. This episode celebrates the most enduring of all their records, the 1988 hit ‘A Little Respect’. Considered by many as the ultimate Pride Anthem, to this day it still gets dance floors heaving and crowds singing their hearts out. Jake and Andy discuss the making of the song, growing in confidence and progressing as a queer performer.

Re: A Little Respect (3rd single)
Are these alternate or just the first revision? I remember Andy admitting that in the early days, Vince still had quite an influence on the final lyrics and would often tweak them with Andy before they recorded, but slowly Andy took over almost 100% of the lyric writing.
This was always a guess but I always felt Vince contributed lyrics up until Wild and Andy took over from 1995's Erasure? Before 1995 the lyrics felt sharper, shorter and more concise. Stop is a very good example. More Vince.
