Erasure - Always: The Very Best of Erasure (2015) [3CD Deluxe Edition]

Always: The Very Best Of Erasure is a brand new and essential singles compilation celebrating 30 years of the band, which brings the story bang up to date. The album includes a brand new version of 'Sometimes' re-booted for 2015 by David Wrench (Hot Chip, Jamie XX & Caribou).

Formed in 1985, the award-winning song writing duo of Vince Clarke and Andy Bell unleashed on the nation a succession of both influential and chart-topping pop anthems of the '80s, '90s through to today. Songs like 'A Little Respect', 'Sometimes', 'Victim Of Love', 'Ship Of Fools', 'Blue Savannah', 'Star', 'Chains Of Love', 'The Circus', 'Who Needs Love (Like That)', 'Love To Hate You', 'Drama!', 'Always' and 'Breathe', ensured a formidable presence on the singles charts complemented by five consecutive No 1 albums (including The Innocents, Wild! and Chorus) and the beginning of the worldwide Abba revival, 'Abba-esque'.

This is the 3CD bookpack edition features remixes from Moby, William Orbit, BT and The Grid (Dave Ball / Soft Cell) plus 4 brand new remixes.
