Limited Edition CD Pop Up Castle

Over 9000 days since the release of my favourite Erasure album, with my favourite artwork, with my favourite song (Take Me Back).

9000 days?? Sheesh!

Agreed I Say is simply their best, with artwork and an attitude that is so warm and inviting - something I can't really say about any later album until Nightbird. It felt magical 9000 days ago and still feels that way now. Though I like the artwork for Erasure a bit more now than I originally did, the cold (portrait) cover didn't win many fans and the sterile computer generated covers of Cowboy and Loveboat have no personality at all.

A memory I'll never forget: I was young and new to NYC but found out that a small import record shop would get in the "Always" single on the day of the release. I wasn't that familiar with the West Village yet, and this was before the internet, so with maps and several friends' advice, I figured out where the store was (it was called "Zapp Records!") and plotted my route and practically ran there after work!!

Such great memories!! (and yes I was then enthralled with the album and to this day still get chills from 'Take Me Back'!!)

Glad to see another member of the Take Me Back Appreciation Fan Club! I would kill for an extended/12" mix of that song...

No shameless plug intended.... oh go on then

All the FaceBook posts about this album being 25 years old,here’s a tribute to all the artwork which was just perfection all round and that logo has still yet to be beaten.

Mike Cosford is hugely underrated, and a genuinely nice fellow to speak with.

In response to a question I asked some years ago about some additional ISISIS artwork done:

Mike Cosford wrote:The cover you mention I believe was going to be for “Blues Away” if I recall correctly - I think it was me playing around with the word ‘blue’ that linked it to a cold blue winter scene ( I’m afraid that’s the way my mind works ! )

And a mystery was solved.
