HOLLYWOOD-The iconic synthpop duo Erasure, comprising Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, will delight fans with limited vinyl reissues of three celebrated albums—*Tomorrow’s World* (2011), *Snow Globe* (2013), and the long out-of-print *The Violet Flame* (2014). Released through Mute, these special editions will be available on December 13, 2024, offering a fresh opportunity to experience the band’s beloved works on vinyl.
*Tomorrow’s World*, set for release on limited edition clear vinyl, captures Erasure’s signature blend of contemporary and classic sounds. The album, produced by Frankmusic (noted for work with Lady Gaga and Pet Shop Boys), features standout tracks like “When I Start To (Break It All Down)” and “Fill Us With Fire.” Recorded across locations in Maine, London, and Los Angeles, *Tomorrow’s World* was well-received, with *Consequence* praising Erasure’s prowess in the synthpop genre, affirming their place as creators of “excellently crafted, catchy dance music.”
*Snow Globe*, the duo’s inventive Christmas album, will be available on limited edition pink vinyl. Eschewing traditional holiday tropes, *Snow Globe* explores the season’s more somber and reflective side. Described by *The Quietus* as “…a fantastic bloody record full stop,” the album features a unique interpretation of the Latin carol “Gaudete” and Erasure’s own twist on classics like “White Christmas” and “Silent Night.”
For the first time since its initial release, *The Violet Flame* will be available on limited edition white vinyl. Produced by Richard X, the album marked a refreshed, dance-ready sound for Erasure, with *Record Collector* noting their newfound “dancing feet.” Celebrated for its themes of love, hope, and renewal, *The Violet Flame* includes upbeat singles such as “Elevation” and “Dead of Night.”
Erasure remains one of the UK’s most enduring pop duos, with accolades including BRIT and Ivor Novello awards, and a catalog of 18 studio albums, including their recent projects *The Neon* and *Day-Glo (Based on a True Story)*. With over 25 million albums sold worldwide since their formation in 1985, Erasure’s upcoming vinyl reissues are sure to be a treasured addition for fans and collectors alike.
