Erasure - The Innocents 21st Anniversary Edition
Legendary pop heroes Erasure announce the 21st Anniversary re-mastered release of their classic pop album, The Innocents in Autumn 2009.

The Innocents, originally released on 18th April 1988, was the first Erasure album to hit the UK #1 spot (first on 30th April 1988 and again in January 1989), a chart- topping position they revisted with each of their next four album releases.

Featuring the singles A Little Respect, Ship Of Fools and Chains Of Love, The Innocents was Erasure's third studio album release, following Wonderland and The Circus, and the album that secured their position as one of Britain's most beloved and enduring songwriting duos.

In over two decades together, Andy Bell and Vince Clarke (a founding member of Depeche Mode and Yazoo) have sold more than 20 million albums around the globe, proving themselves masters of every kind of song from disco symphonies to unplugged ballads.

  Yazoo - Reconnected Live
Yazoo release Reconnected Live on 2xCD, LCD and download on 27th September 2010.

Reconnected Live documents one of pop's most anticipated tours: Vince Clarke & Alison Moyet reunited for the first time in over 25 years. The Times said: "Clarke has unobtrusively retooled the band's music for the digital age, making their vintage 1980s synthesizer ditties sound crisp, fluid and timeless", while The Guardian noted, "Yazoo's first tour in 26 years finds the chemistry behind their smash hits unchanged.

Reconnected Live, from summer 2008, features classic tracks from Yazoo's albums 'Upstairs At Eric's' and 'You And Me Both', including Only You, Don't Go and Situation plus tracks from 'You And Me Both', such as Nobody's Diary, performed live for the first time ever.

The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted for only 2 albums, saw them originally only performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but they left an indelible mark on pop. Yazoo released 'Upstairs At Eric's' in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on release of the second album 'You And Me Both', which reached Number 1 in the UK.

Speaking prior to the Reconnected tour, Vince Clarke said: "It's been really good going back to these songs after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I'm looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who've enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo in concert."

And Alison Moyet said: "Playing this material live is not about revision for me, it is about finishing something we started - writing, recording, performing. Three parts of a whole. A salmon cycle. It's like going home."
