This week’s new releases include expanded 2CD/1DVD reissues of Erasure’s ‘Wonderland’ and ‘The Circus,’ plus new albums from Brian Eno (‘Drums Between the Bells’) and Blondie (‘Panic of Girls’), and a 2DVD/1CD live set from The Damned (‘Machine Gun Etiquette Anniversary Live Set’).
Synthpop greats Erasure have shared a second preview of the bonus DVD that comes with its reissue of 1986 debut ‘Wonderland,’ which arrives Monday in the U.K. alongside a reissue of 1987’s ‘The Circus.’
To preview its upcoming expanded reissue of 1986’s ‘Wonderland,’ Erasure has posted a live video of the duo performing ‘My Heart… So Blue’ from the set’s bonus DVD, which features a previously unreleased concert filmed in Sweden in 1986.
The first and second albums from classic synthpop duo Erasure — 1986’s ‘Wonderland’ and 1987’s ‘The Circus’ — will be reissued this summer in deluxe 2CD/1DVD packages stuffed with remixes, B-sides, live sessions, music videos, TV performances and concert footage.
