Erasure preparing 30th anniversary 3CD compilation and reissue of ‘Sometimes’
In October Erasure will release a brand new version of “Sometimes” via Mute Records. The new version comes in a new mix by David Wrench and will be available as a CD single and download featuring new remixes plus vault material.
The single acts as a teaser for the release of a new 3CD compilation, “Always – The Very Best of Erasure”, yet another best of, which will be available in a special hardback book format featuring a selection of the band’s singles from 1985 to today alongside 2 further discs of remixes (new, old and rare remixes).
2016 will also see an anthology boxset as well as a series of vinyl album reissues on 180g heavyweight vinyl.
The English synth pop duo Erasure, consisting of singer and songwriter Andy Bell and songwriter and keyboardist Vince Clarke, formed in London, and entered the music scene in 1985 with their debut single “Who Needs Love Like That”. Their debut album, “Wonderland”, was mostly recorded in 1985 and released in June 1986.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
