Greg EIS [23.07.04]:

Hello!

¨ Private Ear Issue 31

Many years ago I remember sending off a form to join something called the "Erasure Information Service" and receiving a magazine through the post. Now I find myself in the position of producing a new edition of the Private Ear magazine.

Private Ear Issue 31This new 28 page (full colour) edition features many interviews with people who are associated with Erasure, including:

- Dean Bright - Andy's costume designer, offers an insight into the design processes for the live tours.

- Daniel Miller answers a selection of your questions sent in via the website.

- The history of the EIS is examined, with candid interviews with Paul Hickey (and Andy offering his input!), Janet and Jonny.

And as a very special exclusive, Paul Hickey has allowed the EIS to publish in the magazine a brief synopsis and two excerpts from his forthcoming book "Happiness Is The Best Facelift" (working title - and his book is due to be released next year). One of the excerpts demonstrates the inspiration behind the forthcoming single 'Breathe'.

You will be able to buy this copy of Private Ear online in two weeks, and it will also be available to purchase at EIS '04.

¨ Charity Auction Details

A few more items have been added to the EIS '04 Charity Auction, see:

http://www.erasureinfo.com/eis04/index.html (select 'Auction Items')

In addition from Monday 26th July, you will be able to submit proxy bids for most of the items. Full details will be posted on the web-site on Monday.

¨ EIS '04 Schedule

The schedule of events for EIS '04 has been put up online:

http://www.erasureinfo.com/eis04/index.html (select 'Event Schedule')

¨ In_Vox / Merchandise Orders

Apologies for the delay with those that have order merchandise in the past week or two, with having to finish the Private Ear magazine and sorting out last minute EIS '04 stuff, I've not had a chance to process the orders. However as soon as this email update is sent out I'll start processing them.

Until next time!!

Hello!

¨ EIS '04 Auction Preview

As you may or may not be aware, the forthcoming EIS '04 event will feature a charity auction.

The EIS '04 section of the website has now been updated with details of the items that will be available at the auction. Each item has a thumbnail picture (click on it for a larger image) and a brief description.

http://www.erasureinfo.com/eis04/index.html

(and select the 'Auction Items' link - make sure you refresh the page)

But that's the point of putting all these items on the web if you're not going to the event I hear you cry?

Well with the exception of items 26 & 27, all EIS members will be able to submit proxy bids. Exact details on how this process will occur will be announced next week.

¨ In_Vox Single - Pre-order This Imported CD Via The EIS

The EIS has secured a number of the recent In_Vox (featuring Andy Bell single) "Will I Ever?" six track single to sell to EIS members via the EIS website.

Pre-orders are being taking now at:

https://secure.erasureinfo.co.uk/oldshop/merch.html

(Again make sure that you refresh the page)

I'm expecting delivery of the CD's next week and they will be dispatched to those that ordered them as soon as they come in.

The prices quote on the order page are the provisional prices - if I get more orders that what I've budgeted for then the prices will be reduced - the prices will not increase though.

See EIS Update #22 or the EIS website news section for more details on this fab single and to hear a 60 sec clip.

Have a great weekend!
