Limited Edition Souvenir Release - Recorded live on The Erasure Show tour 2005. This collection is an official live recording of 'The Erasure Show' 2005 tour.
EBX is the title given to retrospective box sets from Erasure, released in the UK by Mute Records in 1999 and 2001. Four volumes of EBX have been released : both EBX 1 and EBX 2 were released in 1999, then EBX 3 and EBX 4 were out in 2001. Each set presents, in chronological order, five singles released by Erasure, beginning with their debut in 1986 up to 1992 (twenty singles in all). Although cover art was altered (specifically for the sets), the track listings represent all music originally found on the UK versions of their singles (including all remixes and B-sides, found on cassette and CD singles, as well as 12 inch singles).
Originally released in 1991, the classic Erasure album Chorus was the band’s fifth album and their 3rd UK number one. Remastered with a second CD of B-Sides, Remixes (including 4 new remixes) and Rarities plus a third CD containing live "Chorus" performances from the Phantasmagorical Entertainment tour.
No longer making a big American splash outside of its fanbase and alternative radio - and about to be turned into yesterday's news thanks to the techno/hardcore explosion - Erasure on Chorus concentrated on just sounding like itself. With the notable exception of the hypersassy "Love to Hate You," Bell steers away from campiness in favor of a series of gentler meditations and impassioned pleas. "Chorus" itself is another great Erasure anthem, Clarke providing just the right combination of beat and melody for Bell's surprisingly effective tackling of environmental degredation…
