Greg EIS - "Storm Chaser Out Now":

Hello

Well the UK part of the tour has now concluded, but that means those of you in Denmark and Germany don't have long to wait until you can get to see Erasure performing live!

Also, a quick welcome to the 1,000's of people who had signed up to receive these Erasure E-Mail Newsletters over the past few weeks - todays newsletter features news of several current and future Erasure releases that may just interest you...

Storm Chaser - Out Now (UK / Europe)

Out now in the UK, Europe and beyond is 'Storm Chaser', the new Erasure EP which features new, extended and remixed versions of songs from the album 'Light At The End Of The World' as well as an exclusive track that features guest vocals from Cyndi Lauper. The North American release date for 'Storm Chaser' is the 2nd October.

It is available on three formats - a nine track CD, a two track 7" vinyl picture disc and as an eleven track digital download.

2. Sucker For Love [Extended Mix]

Storm Chaser - Digital Release

The eleven track digital download version of 'Storm Chaser' is *currently* available for an absolutely bargain price for £1.99 from iTunes and £1.50 from MSN Music.

No that is not a typo - that's 11 tracks (over 60mins worth) of Erasure material available for less than £2.00

If you have ever needed a reason to try out digital downloads, it is an absolute no brainer to buy 'Storm Chaser' at this price - seriously do it now!

The MSN Music store only works on a Windows based PC, however iTunes works on both a Mac and a Windows PC - and the downloaded 'DRM free' music files from iTunes can work on nearly all mp3 players / iPods / can be burnt to CDs etc. (Sorry for all the technical lingo.)

Stephen Fry - HIV & Me

There has been a change of plan to the television programme 'Stephen Fry - HIV & Me', which was previously reported to be featuring Andy Bell openly talking about his experiences of living with HIV.

As the series developed and the editing progressed, the series became much more about how everyday people live with the virus rather than being about celebrities, therefore Andy will no longer appear.

The series is due to be broadcast in the UK on BBC TWO at 21.00 on Monday 1st October and Monday 8th October.

"Hits! The Very Best Of Erasure" Re-Release

29th October sees the release of a re-packaged version of Erasure's 'best of' collection - "Hits! The Very Best Of Erasure".

Containing 3 discs, it features:

1) CD 1 - 20 classic Erasure songs
2) CD 2 - 18 Erasure songs mixed together (mixed by Mark Towns)
3) DVD - The first 35 Erasure videos

For the full track listing see:
www: http://www.erasureinfo.com/releases

There are actually two versions of this release, each having different packaging:

- Hits! The Very Best Of Erasure [DVD Packaging] - Cat No: XMUTEL10 / 5099950840526
- Hits! The Very Best Of Erasure [CD Packaging] - Cat No: LXMUTEL10 / 5099950838127

Both contain exactly the same contents of 2 CDs and 1 DVD - different territories / shops may prefer to stock one type of packaging over the other.

The DVD contained in the above "Hits!" box set is region locked to regions 2-6, however it is encoded in the NTSC (US / Canada / Japan) TV format. Although modern TV/ DVD combinations in the UK & Europe should be multi-standard and play back NTSC DVDs without problems, it can not be guaranteed. If I recall correctly, some UK / European game consoles play back NTSC DVDs in black & white, and older DVD players / televisions may also have problems.

Erasure Interviews

With the tour continuing in the UK, local press have been conducting interviews with Andy & Vince:

"Both myself and Andy were in very good headspaces so hopefully some of that optimism comes across"
[Lancashire Evening Post]
www: http://www.lep.co.uk...

"This album is to show people that our pop isn't finished. It's saying we can still do it, we can still write great songs."
[Newcastle Evening Chronicle]
www: http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk...

"There really ought to be pop's version of a blue plaque to mark Manchester's part in the pinnacle of Erasure's career."
[Manchester Evening News]
www: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk...

Erasure Concert Reviews

...and there have been many positive reviews of the recent live shows:

"And what a knees up it was: hit after hit was met by a wildly enthusiastic audience....Bell's voice has always been one of pop's strongest and he did deliver the goods..."
[Manchester Evening News]
www: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk...

"...the result was one of the best gigs, in terms of atmosphere and music, you are likely to see there in a long time..."
[Newcastle Evening Chronicle]
www: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk...

"...Erasure easily proved they still enjoy what they do. More importantly, they still do it well. Just looking at Bell cavorting around the stage would likely tire even the fittest person, and his vocals remain absolute perfection."
[Edinburgh Evening News]
www: http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com...

Plus an article in the 'Lancashire Evening Post' regarding Ray and Kath Sutton, who contacted the EIS with a wish to meet and thank the band:

"Ray and Kath Sutton, from Cop Lane, Penwortham, were reunited with singer Andy Bell who supported the couple with kind words and sympathy as they waited for a flight to New York in 2005. They were revisiting the children's camp their son had worked at before a horrific 30ft fall from a building led to his death. Bell, 43, also phoned them personally to invite them to a USA Erasure concert.

They were so grateful and were desperate to meet and thank the popsters on their trip to Lancashire - and their dream came true last night.

They met Andy and synth maestro Vince Clarke backstage and told them about progress with charity Sutty's Shooting Stars, set up in memory of Carl."
[Lancashire Evening Post]
www: http://www.lep.co.uk...

Onetwo - UK & Europe Tour Support

A few people have been asking who the support artist for Erasure in the UK are - they are "Onetwo" who comprise of Paul Humphreys (OMD) and Claudia Brucken (Propaganda, Act).  Onetwo released their superb debut album 'Instead' a couple of months ago.  Further details on Onetwo can be found at their website and MySpace sites.

'Sometimes - A Life Of Love, Loss & Erasure' - By Paul Hickey

This long awaited extraordinary book chronicles Paul and Andy's spectacular rise to prominence with Erasure's early hit albums and offers a vicarious look at the parties, glamour, and exclusive lifestyle it enabled.

But it was also a lifestyle of dangerous excess, which ultimately resulted in a potentially fatal episode for Paul in a luxury Los Angeles hotel. A massive stroke rendered him paralysed and unable to speak, and it was unclear it he would be able to recover.

Hospitalised, Paul was faced with an uncertain future, unsure which, if any, of his faculties would return. Unable to talk Paul had no choice but to reflect on his life and was reduced to communicating with typed notes.

Yet the more he typed, the more he recovered, slowly giving birth to this book. By doing so Paul re-engages the world world, celebrates in the love and support of his family, friends, and most importantly, Andy.

Erasure To Have A Break?

Here is a quote from the new interview with Andy Bell:

"I do sometimes feel like I've done it, " he said. "We've been around all this time. We decided to have a two year break after the tour to keep Erasure fresh. We've got to finish this tour at the end of the year and then take a break.

We've done quite a few things in this last five years."

You may read the full interview here.

In another interview (taken on 29th August) Andy said that they are going to have a couple of years’ break, after the tour has finished. Speaking about nursery rhymes album, Andy said:

"We’re kind of halfway through doing that. We’ve started it already, and now Vince wants to turn it into an original Gothic story, rather than just using old nursery rhymes. Which sounds a bit complicated, inventing these people from the past, like the old woman who lived in a shoe, her story. We will finish it, but we are going to have a couple of years’ break, after the tour has finished. We’ll probably do some other things outside of Erasure, but that one is still in the pipeline."

Andy also revealed that they’ve sold about 70 000 copies of the new album worldwide, so sales-wise it has been disappointing.
