Erasure / Wonderland & The Circus / Deluxe Editions / Coming soon
Erasure will be reissuing their first two albums – Wonderland and The Circus – in special expanded 3-disc editions, each featuring two CDs and an all-regions NTSC DVD. The release date is set for July 4th on EMI.
Both releases will feature remastered versions of the original albums, with bonus CDs full of single remixes, b-sides and radio session tracks. The DVDs will contain the promotional videos for the singles from each album, plus a live concert. For ‘Wonderland’ the previously unreleased concert footage was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1986 while the DVD for the ‘The Circus’ release will feature Top of The Pops performances plus the 1987 ‘Live At The Seaside’ concert recorded in Brighton, originally released on VHS, now available on DVD for the first time.

This is one artist that I felt would include ALL the mixes to their singles when producing a deluxe edition. Sadly, there is a lot of tracks that are left off. Would much rather had the remixes vs. those Radio 1 Sessions. It’s going to have to be a really good price before I pick this up. Wow. Super-disappointed.
i’m interested in these releases BUT had hoped the price of these would be a little less than the cheapest ive found online @£13.99 from an online shop i dint usually use and the one i do is a little more expensive @£15.99, but still tempted to buy even if i have to hang on a few month as seems an interesting set now it includes the bbc sessions
Yes, the Suede reissues seem better value at around £9.99 or £10.99. Even so these do look good and are going to be hard to resist even at £15.99. It wasn’t that long ago record companies expected us to pay that just for a DVD never mind a 2CD+DVD!
