Customer Reviews Erasure I agree with a previous reviewer that these songs do bring your mood into a positive state. This group has a positive sound. Excellent songs. I always affiliated good times with this group. I don't know why, but its probably how Erasure presents its music. . 3.5 stars: Good but missing a few songs Their music always cheers me up whenever I am feeling down. Erasure is one of my all time favorite pop groups from the 1980s. The group's first compilation Pop! was the cd that really introduced me to the group. Unfortunately the production is pretty shoddy. Four years ago Mute released another Erasure compilation with better production value. Unfortunately Mute Records left off a considerable amount of Erasure material for a best of compilation. There is no songs off Erasure's self-titled album or "Cowboy", two of my personal favorite Erasure albums. It seems that this compilation as nothing more than to make money off the group. If they relaly cared about the fans, the label would have covered all of the group's past recordings and include some bonus tracks or a dvd. Still I am glad to hear "A Little Respect" and "Oh L'Amour" with better production quality because the orginal versions sounds like crud. If you want to hear your favorite Erasure songs with better production quality, I recommend buying this cd. If you are a serious diehard Erasure fan, don't buy it. It's obvious cash cow for Mute Records. Good Hits collection... Btw, with this new collection having 3 covers of ABBA songs, why doesn't it have their great cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass"? So anyway, should you buy this or POP!? I have the solution: backtrack and buy all their cd's in order and experience Erasure to its fullest. But I have "POP!-20 Hits" already and think that was a better representation of why Erasure was so great. Most of their cd's have too many wonderful undiscovered/unheard gems in them. . .
