Editorial Reviews
CD Description
'Total Pop' is a comprehensive "best of" collection from British pop duo Erasure. Famous for their anthemic and catchy synth-based pop songs - from 'A Little Respect' to 'Love To Hate You' - this pioneering act are possibly best known for their 1980s output. Featuring keyboard maestro Vince Clark and the powerful voice of Andy Bell, this is a timely reminder of one of Britain's most talented and underrated pop acts.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant Boxset!
When I first saw the price tag, I was put off a little, but on recieving this item I can say that it is worth every penny! The set consists of all 40 hits (all the singles), as stated on the cover plus loads of extras.
The package is in the form of a book, with the 4 discs kept in the front and back cover with 40 pages of quality photos and information about the band throughout their career.
The first cd is the 20 hits, plus the Who NeedsLove Like That Remix we heard on the original Erasure Pop, with improved sound quality. The second CD consists of the more recent suff from Erasure and there are plenty of hidden gems! The 3rd cd contains 15 great live tracks both album tracks and singles and the final disc the DVD contains loads of great rare Erasure footage, from the early days to more recently!
If you already own most of the tracks in this set I would still recomend this as the book is really worth it as is the live CD and dvd, all beautifully packaged.
Highly recommended for all erasure fans, if you're new to the band there is always the 2 disc editiion avalible which is at a lower price, but this is worth every penny!
A Fantastic Album!
This is a must have Album and consists of 40 Erasure Hits! What more can I say?
The package consists of two CDs, CD 1 is the fist Pop CD released in 1992 which has been completely remastered and CD 2 consists of Hits released after 1994 to the current day.
There are loads of great tracks here that you can't help but to sing along too. There are tracks that I myself had never really heard wish I now love.
Erasure are the some of the best song writers around and this collection of 41 tracks proves it. It is even worth getting if you owned the first CD as the tracks sound even better now they have been remastered.
One of the best CDs ever!
Just one psychological drama after another
Erasure must be one of a select few bands who can genuinely boast 40 hit singles, even in a career lasting 24 years. From vibrant and vacuous early numbers such as 'Oh L'amour' (later covered even more successfully by plastic pop puppets 'Dollar), to more mature and intense tracks like 'Drama', 'Chorus' and 'Stop'; you'll be amazed at how many of the songs on here that you recognise. Even in the mid-90s, after their bubble had burst, Erasure continued to produce quality pop songs; the likes of 'Breathe' and 'Here I go Immpossible Again' showing a maturity and deftness of touch that hasn't deserted Vince Clarke yet, even as the band's distinctive brand of synth-pop has gone in and out of fashion.
Without a duff track on it, this is great buy and an essential collection of inspired pop nuggets.
