From the official ErasureInfo Newsletter:
With the releases of both the Phantom Bride EP and the 21st Anniversary edition of The Innocents just around the corner it all feels very exciting to be in the EIS hot seat at the moment. I am thrilled, not only that so many of you have already pre-ordered those releases through the Erasure Shop at Lexer Music, but also that so many of you are choosing to buy The Innocents in the special EIS bundle we've put together for you. On behalf of the band and myself, thank you very much for your enthusiastic support, it is always much appreciated!

THE INNOCENTS 1988 TV ADVERT
While Mute were poking around in the Erasure archives, in the planning stages for the release of the 21st Anniversary edition of The Innocents, they came across the original 1988 TV advert for the album which I thought you might like to see, so much so in fact that I have put it online on the front page of the website for you... it's a tiny slice of Erasure history and it's all yours!

ASK ERASURE - VINCE CLARKE & ANDY BELL ON THE INNOCENTS
As part of my In Search Of The Innocents blog I will be asking both Vince and Andy about their memories of the recording and release of the original edition of The Innocents, the touring they did to promote it and their thoughts on its incredible success. It's obviously a very key release in Erasure's history and I know that it's an album that holds a special position in the hearts of many of you, so I thought I'd ask you to provide the questions. If there's any questions you'd like me to consider asking Vince and Andy about The Innocents then or now (please keep the questions to the subject of that album, there will be opportunities to ask about other things further down the line!) then please email them over. Hopefully it will be a shot in the arm for the blog which has shuddered to a bit of a halt recently. Thank you!??
