iTunes Celebrity Playlist

As well as offering 59 tracks worth of 'Total Pop! The First 40 Hits' for an incredible GBP 9.99, iTunes have also published Andy and Vince's comments on their top 11 songs. Check out iTunes to view their choices and comments.

Vince Clarke 60 Second Interview (Metro)

"Suddenly you find yourself at 48 and still going in the music business. I'm as shocked as I'm sure other people are. [Vince Clarke]"

The Metro ("Britain's first urban national newspaper") interviewed Vince Clarke for their regular '60 second interview' feature, which was published two days ago. Don't fret however, as the interview can be viewed online.

Andy Bell Interview (Subba Cultcha)

"I haven't seen Vince for a while, but we'll be meeting up at some point this year and we'll start writing some new material. [Andy Bell]"

The website Subba-Cultcha has recently interviewed Andy Bell and have just published the interview online.

'Total Pop!' Competition (Pinkpaper.com)

To celebrate the release of 'Total Pop!' The Pink Paper are running a competition with several Erasure goodies to give away, such as a signed vintage promotional photo or signed double CD.

'Total Pop! Deluxe' Pre-Order Prize Draw Results

As you may remember, everyone that pre-ordered the 'Total Pop' 4 disc box-set from The Erasure Shop (Lexer Music) was entered into a prize draw.

Six names have now been picked from the virtual hat, and the winners are: (drum roll please...)

- 1st Prize (Andy's Costume & 'Total Pop' Poster) -

- Frederique Cicou (Belgium)

- Runners Up (Signed CD & 'Total Pop' Poster) -

- Robert Smith (United States)
- Simon Wooldridge (United Kingdom)
- Dave Joerg (Germany)
- Bridoux Veronique (France)
- Kate Clark (United Kingdom)

Congratulations to you all.

'Total Pop!' Poster Competition

Haven't done a competition in ages - so here are ten 'Total Pop' posters to give away. For a chance to win one, just answer this question:

Q) What is the total running time of the 59 track digital download of 'Total Pop' from iTunes?

Send your answer, name and postal address to: greg@erasureinfo.com with the subject heading "ooh that's too easy". (You don't really have to write that.)

Closing date of competition is Thursday 5th March. Multiple entries will be deleted.

'Total Pop!' - Further Reviews

"They are one of the best pop groups ever. [Bad Robot]"

Further reviews of 'Total Pop! The First 40 Hits' have recently been published, from Bad Robot, Mojo, Uncut and The List. The Peterborough Evening Telegraph are also running a competition to win a signed copy of the album (not available on-line I'm afraid).

Marlow 'InsideOutside'

Just heard from The Erasure Shop (Lexer Music) that stock of the new Marlow album 'InsideOutside' will arrive Friday. The album contains eleven tracks and two remixes. The title track 'InsideOutside' was arranged and produced by Vince Clarke, who also provided a remix of the track Home.

If you hurry, you might still be able to take advantage of the pre-sale offer (the free download track, postcard & having the album signed.)

I also suggest you sign up to their mailing list (via the shop's frontpage) to be alerted of future special offers.

Six Years Ago...

...almost to the day (3rd March 2003 to be exact) I wrote my first email newsletter to you all. Now six years and 292 newsletters later, I'll shortly be hanging up my keyboard and mouse and moving on. It's been an absolute pleasure to work for Andy and Vince and getting to know the wonderful people at Mute during this time and to have hopefully provided a decent service for you all.

Hasn't it been a totally crazy six years? I would never have dared hope that so many fantastic Erasure releases and live performances would happen in such a short amount of time - and of course there is much more to come in the future...

(You would have thought by now that I would have learnt how to get to the point in these newsletters! Ah well - too late now.)

So anyway, there is now is a vacancy for someone to run the Erasure / Yazoo / Andy Bell websites & newsletters, plus the companion services on MySpace, Facebook, iLike, YouTube & the forum.

Web design skills are essential and basic audio / video editing experience is useful. Decent knowledge of Erasure is also an requirement. Ideally you would also be based in London, though this is not compulsory. Applications, including CVs should be sent to:

Erasure Information Service
1 Albion Place
Hammersmith

Or email me them to me at: greg@erasureinfo.com

EIS Newsletter: "Interviews & Last Day Of Offer"

Hello

Another rather lengthy newsletter this week:

1. Pre-sale Ends Today (Fri 20th Feb)
2. 'A Little Respect' Video Clip (Going Live)
3. Andy Bell Interview & Competition (Remembertheeighties)
4. Andy Bell Interview (Real Radio 106-108FM)

8. Andy Bell Interview (City Life)
9. Fan Mixes - Updated
10. Andy Bell Interview (Gaydar Radio)
11. Another Erasure Night (Sky High Radio)

A copy of the new Erasure box-set landed on my desk today, and it was the first time I had seen the actual finished product.

Up until now, it was still an intangible item - I've written about it, presented preview clips, seen images of the artwork and listened and viewed the test discs, but now I could finally pick it up and flick through it's pages and experience it how it is mean to be experienced.

And you know what? The level of care and attention that has gone into this release has blown me away - there are lots of little details that I've noticed for the first time which prompted an "oh that's cool" reaction in my head. As you can probably tell, I really like it. (This isn't meant as a sales pitch btw (seriously) it's a genuine reaction that I felt the need to share...)

Anyway - before I ramble on for too long, onto the first of two lasts...

Pre-sale Ends Today (Fri 20th Feb)

This is the final time I will write about the 'Total Pop' boxset pre-sale offer, as it concludes at the end of today (Friday 20th Feb).

If you wish to benefit from the exclusive bonus items (such as the free 4 track 'Pop! Treasure' MP3 download) then you're nearly out of time.

Note: The pre-sale is open to everyone worldwide - there are no geographical restrictions.

For further details visit totalerasure.com.

'A Little Respect' Video Clip (Going Live)

And this is the second of the two lasts - the final preview clip - feels a bit odd that.

This week it's a piece of video footage of Andy & Vince performing 'A Little Respect' (always a crowd pleaser that one) on the BBC early Saturday morning children's programme 'Going Live' way back in October 1988.

As always, the clip can be viewed via a variety of different video streams (links below), as well as via Erasureinfo.com.

Video streams: QuickTime, Real Media and Windows Media.

This 'Going Live' performance is one of many that is featured on disc 4 (the DVD) of the 'Total Pop The First 40 Hits Deluxe' boxset.

Andy Bell Interview & Competition (Remembertheeighties)

Remembertheeighties.com have just published online an interview with Andy Bell and are running a competition where three winners will each receive a 'Total Pop Deluxe' box-set plus an set of autographed photographs.

The single was produced by Dan Carey and the band as part of the album sessions which took place at the band's own HQ in Govan, Glasgow and Carey's South London studio.

Andy Bell Interview (City Life)

Andy Bell was recently interviewed by Hannah Lucinda Smith for Manchester publication CityLife.

"Vince and I will be going back into the studio in the autumn – he’s got a set up in a log cabin in the States - so hopefully we'll get a new album out by 2010"

The full interview can be read online at citylife.co.uk.

Fan Mixes - Website Updated

Several fans mixes created by Andy Hagerty, Roland Pauk and Todd Bauerle have been added to the 'Treasure' section.

Gaydar Radio is available on DAB multiplexes in London and Brighton, across the UK on Sky Digital CH 0158 and online.

Andy Bell On Pet Shop Boys

In one of the recent interviews Andy Bell have commented Pet Shop Boys getting the Outstanding Contribution award at Brits:

Question: The Pet Shop Boys have just got this Outstanding Contribution To Music Award at the Brits. Do you feel like bursting onto the stage and shouting it should have been us!

Andy Bell: Well I'm surprised they didn't ask me to give it to them! 'Cause I really would have given it to them! [laughs]

No... I do like the Pet Shop Boys, and compared to Erasure they are the media darlings, and they always have been and I suppose they always will be. I always think we're kinda of the poor mans Pet Shop Boys really, as we're really working class and stuff and didn't come through the media you know. But I do admire their work. But I think we're just as valid.

Yazoo Newsletter: "Total Clarke Polly & Marlow"

Hello

This weeks newsletter title sounds like the name of a law firm! Anyway...

Vince Clarke Interview - Computer Music Magazine

Vince Clarke is interviewed in the March 2009 (issue #136) edition of Computer Music magazine, where he talks about his past work, not to mention his conversion to Apple Macs and Logic following many years with the ancient UMI sequencer on the BBC Micro.

"Vince Clarke is a man who requires absolutely no introduction to electronic music fans. Everyone knows him from his pioneering synth work with Depeche Mode, through to Yazoo and The Assembly, right up to the present day and the longest running of his musical projects, Erasure. All in all, Clarke has been applying his maverick synth-pop talents to the charts for almost 30 years now."

"Just Can't Get Enough" - The Saturdays

British-Irish girl group 'The Saturdays' will be releasing a cover of "Just Can't Get Enough" (the Depeche Mode song written by Vince Clarke) as their fourth single.

It will be the official single for 'Comic Relief 2009', with the proceeds being donated to the charity.

Vince Clarke Interview (Computer Music Magazine)

Vince Clarke is interviewed in the March 2009 (issue #136) edition of Computer Music magazine, where he talks about his past work, not to mention his conversion to Apple Macs and Logic following many years with the ancient UMI sequencer on the BBC Micro.

"Vince Clarke is a man who requires absolutely no introduction to electronic music fans. Everyone knows him from his pioneering synth work with Depeche Mode, through to Yazoo and The Assembly, right up to the present day and the longest running of his musical projects, Erasure.

All in all, Clarke has been applying his maverick synth-pop talents to the charts for almost 30 years now.

He's continually coming up with pristine electronic works and has carved himself a reputation as one of the most consistent and successful pop writers of all time, not to mention one of the foremost users and collectors of analogue modular synthesisers."

'Pop! Remixed' Review (Scottish Sunday Mail)

Mickey McMonagle from the Scottish Sunday Mail presents his weekly entertainment round-up with the Green Room and reviews 'Pop! Remixed'.

ERASURE - Pop Remixed *****

One of the definitive 80s bands return with a remix package, updating many of their synth-pop hits from the 80s and 90s. Songs like A Little Respect still sound as good.

Sensational stuff and an ideal introduction to the band. MM

You can watch the review online at sundaymail.co.uk.

'Total Pop! The First 40 Hits' Review (GT Magazine)

The latest edition of GT magazine has reviewed 'Total Pop! The First 40 Hits'.

"When is the Erasure revival going to happen? Hopefully this collection of their first 40 hits might be the catalyst.

Unlike their Electro brethren of yore (Depeche Mode, New Order), they don't appear to be held in such high esteem. Which is weird, because - as listening to this album proves - there are Pop nuggets to be mined in these here hills!

Who but the most hard-hearted can deny the joys of Always, Oh L'Amour and A Little Respect? And for the beat freaks, there's and extended EP of remixes worth investigating."

Have a great weekend!
