Hello <:firstname:>!
Thank you to everyone who responded to my request for your stories, anecdotes and interview questions in last week's newsletter. I ended up with hundreds which I collated and sent over to Mute this week to be considered for inclusion in the booklet to accompany the forthcoming 21st Anniversary edition of The Innnocents.
In my newsletter a couple of weeks ago I hinted that there were all sorts of Erasure plans being made behind the scenes at Mute and it was very exciting to then announce the 21st Anniversary edition of The Innocents a couple of weeks ago.
It's equally exciting this week to be able to announce two more releases from the Erasure catalogue, plus share the details of a rather ambitious project I have set myself in the run up to The Innocents reissue! Here goes...
CLASSIC
ERASURE CLUB MIXES TO BE RELEASED IN AUGUST
In 1990 Erasure released three promotional singles on 12" vinyl, the records
were sent to DJs to be played in clubs and were never made commercially available,
until now...
On August 10th Mute Records will release remastered versions of all seven club mixes featured across the three original vinyl singles compiled onto a special EP which will be available on CD and download.
See the News section on ErasureInfo.com for the full tracklisting and all the details I have so far. Details of a SPECIAL pre-order to follow shortly...
ABBA-ESQUE
REMIXES TO BE REISSUED AS DOWNLOAD BUNDLE
On August 10th Mute Records will also make the classic Erasure Abba-esque remixes
available again in a special download bundle. The bundle will feature the four
remixes originally released on CD and 12" Vinyl in 1992.
See the News section on ErasureInfo.com for the full tracklisting and all the details I have so far.
SEARCHING
FOR THE INNOCENTS... AN ERASURE BLOG
To mark the forthcoming 21st Anniversary reissue of The Innocents, one of my
own favourite records ever, I have set myself the task of tracking down and
interviewing everyone who worked on the original record, and recording the process
via a dedicated blog.
It might end up being an impossible task but I think it could be an interesting
one and if all goes well it will bring all sorts of new perspectives on what
is perhaps the most important, certainly the most successful, album of Erasure's
career to date.
You can keep an eye on my progress in the new Blog section at ErasureInfo.com.
Have a great week!
Cheers
Richard
