I've recently been trying to listen to music more often through the day when everyone else is out the house, so it has given me chance to revisit some of the music I loved in my younger days. Erasure pop used to be one of my favourite albums when I was a teenager. My dad and I ended up having a row when I left home as he was convinced this was his, but no way would I part with it, so I ended up buying him his own copy to make up for me taking it. In all honesty, I am surprised that this CD still plays, as I first got this copy when I was around 13, and I am now 33. Admittedly I don't often play my CDs these days, but I think that this is pretty good going. My ...  Read the complete review

This album was released in 1992 and, as the title suggests, collected together Erasure's first 20 singles that had been released. It contains the following tracks: 01) Who Needs Love (Like That): Originally a chart flop (number 55) when it was first released from the "Wonderland" album. It's a rather, catchy opening number with a strong vocal from Andy &, in my opinion, better than the 1992 remix. 02) Heavenly Action: Another single which was released from "Wonderland" & then flopped in the UK chart, making 100. It's a slice of pop exuberance although the chorus is perhaps used a little too ...  Read the complete review

Pop! A word that often brings terror to the hearts of many considering the content of the charts these days. But fear not, this Erasure CD will remove the ghosts of Britneys past from your mind. This is a collection of all the singles Erasure released from 1985 to 1992. Erasure is a duo with members Vince Clarke (a former and founding member of Depeche Mode) and Andy Bell. This collection charts the songs which brought them great success in the 80's, they were regular visitors to the Top 10 on TOTP. Well where do I start in reviewing this, I really loved it a lot and it's been in my CD player pretty much non-stop since Christmas. This is feel-good ...  Read the complete review

I do like a bit of Erasure. Maybe it has something to do with the devilishly handsome Andy Bell and Vince Clarke standing there looking so elegent in all their shows. Pop! is a collection of their earlier works and has some of their finest moments on it. Who could forget Who Needs Love Like that or A Little Respect, two disco classics if ever there were. I remember having one of my first ever kisses to those songs with the lovely Anne Marie in the school disco. There are also some other super tracks, like Circus and Blue Savannah which bring memories flooding back of the good old days of pop. I recall meeting Erasure many many moons ago at a concert and they were ...  Read the complete review

My first thought on listening to Pop! again reently was that I had forgotten just how fantastic Erasure are - and how catchy the music is. It's impossible to listen to this best of without singing along and having a boogie and we all enjoy that!! All the hits are here - from the very low charting 'Who Needs Love Like That' and 'Heavenly Action' to the chartbusting 'Chorus' and 'AbbaEsque'. If you loved them in the eighties or missed them the first time round you'll still be impressed with this top notch collection. My personal favourite on this album is 'You Surround Me - this song really showcases the musical ...  Read the complete review
