Pop! - The First 20 Hits

After spells with Depeche Mode, Yazoo & the very short-lived The Assembly, Vince Clark teamed up with Andy Bell & with Erasure, created one of the best pop duos ever.This Greatest Hits collection covers their well-deserved success. Even so, it took well over a year before "Sometimes" finally broke them into the UK charts. Looking back, it should've been the lovely "Heavenly Action" that give them their breakthrough.For me the only below par song is the one from the Abba-esque EP "Take A Chance On Me". Yes it entered the chart at No.1, but compared to all their excellent previous hits it doesn't cut it for me personally.Still, despite this one flaw, it's still a terrific compilation & I do recommend it

Good soundtrack to reminisce to.

Great CD all the hits love it.

Brilliant mix of Erasure hits and a fabulous walk down memory lane. This music hasn't dated or lost its brilliance in the years since it was first released and the electro beat and clear warn tones from Andy Bell are magnificent. Altogether this is a good over view of Erasure's best hits and for me is well worth the buy - amazing value for a CD I have played over and over in the car and at home. No matter how often I listen to this CD I never get tired of any of the tracks. The often bittersweet melancholy of the lyrics that sit at odds with the upbeat tunes are always a refreshing welcome. Highly recommend this CD

Buying this cd brought back a lot of good memories from when I was younger. And I was really surprised to find it, I find the music from 80s and early 90s are much better than the music now. The lyrics have meaning and it is not all swearing and rap

I quite liked Erasure when I was in the '80s. I quite liked them when I was in the early '90s. I bought this on the strength of 2 songs: 'Stop!' and 'A little Respect'. When I stuck it in my car CD player, I remembered instantly the numerous other excellent POP songs this duo created - and there's 20 of 'em on this disc. There was a couple I wasn't familiar with, and one that I didn't like originally but now do. Quality music - whatever the genre - stands the test of time, and this is the epitome of SynthPop. Catchy as hell. Better than 'The Pet Shop Boys' fo' shiz! Prolific hit makers, Erasure were (are?) very good. Forget Kylie Minogue, get this instead.

The cd is fantastic

The cd was like new and was safely packaged and arrived on time.
