Synthpop favorites Erasure next year will release a 30th anniversary expanded reissue of their chart-topping fourth album, 1989’s Wild!, featuring a bonus disc filled with B-sides, remixes and other rarities — including five previously unreleased mixes and live cuts.
Due out March 29 via BMG/Mute Records, the 2CD set will be packaged in a hardback book with rare photos and new sleeve notes. The first disc will include a newly remastered edition of Wild!, featuring the hit singles “Drama!,” “You Surround Me,” “Blue Savannah” and “Star.”
The second disc features 14 bonus B-sides, remixes and rarities, five of which are previously unreleased, including a brand-new remix of “Drama!” by Richard Norris, a recently discovered unreleased mix of “How Many Times?” and a pair of live tracks recorded at London Arena in December 1989.
The Wild! reissue can be pre-ordered now via Lexer Music. A limited number of exclusive Wild! badges will be given out randomly with pre-orders, according to the site.

Anyone who doesn’t like Erasure, listen to the track drama it has the JAMC boys on backing
Glad to finally see this series continued. Nice that there are some unreleased tracks. Was odd that the live Wild tour DVD was part of the Moscow to Mars box set and now that this is coming out seems like it should have been held back for a 2CD/DVD release like they did with the other albums.
Look forward to the Chorus reissue as well.
