{"product_id":"erasure-wonderland","title":"Erasure: Wonderland","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eOriginally, Erasure's first album was to have had a number of different singers, a conceit keyboardist-songwriter Vince Clarke had taken from his previous project, the Assembly. However, previously unknown singer Andy Bell was such a perfect foil for Clarke that he quickly became a full partner in the band. Breaking with the tradition of Clarke's earlier bands, Depeche Mode and Yaz, where Clarke had been the sole songwriter, Bell co-wrote most of Wonderland. The album is the template for the next several Erasure releases, matching the Hi-NRG dance of \"Push Me Shove Me\" to the quiet lyricism of \"Oh L'Amour.\" Bell's lyrics betray a sense of emotional turmoil, especially on \"Say What,\" that never becomes histrionic. The album contains two instant Erasure classics, \"Who Needs Love Like That,\" and \"My Heart...So Blue.\"\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Duckbill Records","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":44102581715123,"sku":"B082202","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/4770\/8083\/files\/Erasure-Wonderland-1.jpg?v=1733595047","url":"https:\/\/duckbillrecords.com\/products\/erasure-wonderland","provider":"Duckbill Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
