 official : oh l'amour entered the uk charts at #13. YIPPEEHH!!! |

infos from rollingstone.com about the acoustic (country&western) album:
"Clarke and Bell also recently finished an album of acoustic versions of older Erasure songs including "Spiralling," "Rock Me Gently" and "Home," which Clarke expects out next spring. "They're tracks we felt should have been singles," says Clarke. "We put them together with banjo and mandolin. It was good fun to do. The songs themselves were mostly written on acoustic instruments anyway, so it wasn't hard to transfer them over." |

// Oh L'Amour - Out On Monday!

// G-A-Y Erasure Themed Party

On Monday 20th October 2003 G-A-Y (London Astoria) will be celebrating the release of 'Oh L'Amour' and 'Hits!' with a special Erasure themed party!
An Erasure track will be played every half hour - and at 1am there will be the regular Monday Night balloon drop give-away - which will lead into a half hour of non stop Erasure Megamix tunes.
However this give-away will be different from those usually offered by G-A-Y - normally the prizes are signed in advance - but for this special night if you win a prize you may go to the foyer where Andy Bell will be waiting to meet you and sign your prize!
But what if you don't win a prize? Well just bring along a copy of either "Oh L'Amour" or "Hits! The Very Best Of Erasure" CD / DVD and Andy will sign it!

// Hits! Launch Nights

However that's not all! Throughout October there will be Hits! launch nights at clubs throughout the UK!
Although the exact details will vary depending on the venue, one can expect Erasure tunes and give-aways at these various club nights!

Web links for many of the venues web-sites are provided in the erasureinfo.com news section.

// Andy Bell on Gaydar Radio

Andy Bell will have a 30 minute spot on the show 'Juice', presented by Jamie Crick on Gaydar Radio.
The show will be on air from 15:00 on Monday 13th October 2003.
Gaydar Radio is available in the UK via Sky Digital channel 908, Digital Radio (DAB), across Europe via the Astra 2A satellite and via the web at: http://www.gaydaradio.com

// 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'

Don't forget that Andy will also be appearing on the comedy pop quiz 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' on Monday 13th October at 21:00 on BBC TWO.

// Oh L'Amour Slipcases

The latest batch of Oh L'Amour slipcases for those in the UK have been sent out today. Please let me know next week if yours hasn't arrived.

if you as non-UK inhabitant want to help erasure to chart high with oh l'amour in the UK charts, you can order a full set (cd1, cd2 and dvd) by emailing Ewan McLaren. if you order early you will probably get a limited editon collectors wallet for free. i ordered a set myself and also got Solsbury Hill and Make Me Smile from him. |

What is particularity exciting about this release is that the opportunity has been taken to present three distinct radio mixes of the song for each of the a-sides of Oh L'Amour.

So whilst the 'August Mix' (by Daniel Miller and Sie Medway-Smith) features an updated yet faithful interpretation of the classic song, the 'LMC Extended Remix' for example, is something quite different... (© eis) |
