... The result is ‘Other People’s – a new Erasure album, but where all twelve songs are cover versions of old hits.
They certainly have good choice in material too, just about every song on here is a classic, many of which have been done several times before. Even if you don’t ... Read review

Pop Classics Review ofOther People's Songs - Erasureby
a-true-ben
Advantages: All very good songs, combine touches of the originals and of Erasure very well Disadvantages: Not as good as originals, you may not like covers
...just go and make a compilation of the originals, and hence I’m not going to recommend it. If you like the idea of cover versions though, it’s an interesting album, and may be worth checking out.
Band: Erasure
Album: Other People’s Songs
Label: Mute
Release: 27th January

Advantages: Old songs brought up to date Disadvantages: reminds us how old we are !
...of the title track + other songs , the DVD have a short home made movie . Don't expect it to top the charts though , as all formats will only be on sale for one week only .
2) " Everbody's Got To Learn Sometime ".
Originally released by The Korgi's , and another choice of Vince. A classic Erasure pop ballad feel with some soulful lyrics from Andy
3) " Make Me Smile ( Come Up And See Me ) ".
Originally released by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel ... ...is stunning , and Andy's interpretation is wonderful.
4) " Everyday ".
Originally released by Buddy Holly , this song chosen by Andy in memory of his father . A track brought smack upto date with synths , yet keeping that happy feeling of the original.
5) " When Will I See You Again ".
A hit for the Three Degree's , and Andy's choice . A typical Erasurish beginning - remotely unlike the original , yet soon the song becomes familiar . A great ...

Advantages: Brought Erasure back to the forefront of UK pop Disadvantages: are you kidding !
...selling British duo in pop history - all done through a private record label in Mute records .I've enjoyed their music from 'Wonderland' was released , but to date only seen them live once - a memorable experience too .
Erasure have always produced a great cover version throughout their history and the album ' OtherPeoplesSongs' , released in 2002 once again brought them to the publics attention . Ironically prior to recording ' OtherPeoplesSongs' Erasure were effectlively on a hiatus , Andy had been recording tracks for his solo album and also recording cover versions of a few of his all time favourite records . On a chance meeting , Vince got to hear these tracks , and together they decided to record their favourites as Erasure . Having found new energy from the recording , plus a sellout UK tour , they decided to record a new album...

Advantages: classic tracks Disadvantages: too much previously found on Pop!
...~0~ hits ! - the very best of erasure ~0~
2003 has been a bit of successful year for Erasure . Firstly saw the release of the highly successful erasure album ' OtherPeoplesSongs ' , a compilation of classic songs given the erasure treatment . from it were released two successful singles , namely ' Solisbury Hill ' and ' Make Me Smile ( Come Up and See Me ) ' . Next followed a UK tour , which was again well received . Then came the surprise release of the erasure classic ' Oh l'amour ' , only this time remixed , and again it proved a big success .
to finalise the year , Mute records have released the compilation album ' Hits - the very best of Erasure ' . In the meantime andy and vince continue to work on new material.

Back in 1992 mute records released ' Pop ! 20 hits ' , a compilation album...

Advantages: Classics re-worked , re-invented. Disadvantages: where is Oh L'amour
...Erasures 14th studio album ' Union Street ' was released in April 2006 .It has received mixed reviews , so here's mine !
'OtherPeoplesSongs ' their 12th studio album was a collection of cover songs that both Andy and Vince enjoy . It brought mixed reviews , but again brought the pop world to the attention of Erasure . Their follow up album ' Nightbird ' was released to critical acclaim worldwide .
Union Street's release has again brought Erasure to the forefront of the pop industry attention again . The UK on the whole seem disrespectful of both the album and Erasure ( with general popularity declining ) , while in the USA popularity is rising and the album has proved a huge success . Indeed the album has been released predominantly with the America market in mind .
But why the mixed reviews - perhaps it's because...
