Erasure – Heavenly Action (Yellow Brick Mix) (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Heavenly Action” is a song by the British synthpop duo Erasure, released in November 1985 as their second single.

Issued by Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S., the single proved to be the second commercial failure for the duo (following “Who Needs Love Like That”).

The mid-tempo pop song, written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, is a straightforward ode to love. The music video features Clarke and Bell in an outer space/celestial setting, with several young children appearing as angels.

To this day, “Heavenly Action” remains Erasure’s lowest-charting single on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 100. In the United States, “Heavenly Action” was paired with “Who Needs Love Like That” on the 12 inch single and, as a double-sided hit, climbed to number eight on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

The song was later included on the duo’s debut album Wonderland, released in June 1986.

The UK only “Yellow Brick Mix” was at one time considered one of the rarest and most expensive commercially released Erasure items.

Erasure – Indian Rubber Mega-Mix (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990

“Indian Rubber” is a megamix of Erasure hits released in 1990 by the US based bootlega label ON-USound. The label had at least 15 12″ releases. The majority of releases have single artist megamixes. Later on the label changed it’s name to to Euro-Mixx. This megamix is quite sought after by Erasure fans.

Please remember that this is a bootleg unofficial release therefore the sound quality is not always the best. I have restored this 12″ to the best of my ability. “Indian Rubber” was also released by ON-USound as a CD single but was taken directly from a vinyl source.
