Erasure – Blue Savannah (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989

NEW 2023 Transfer!
NEW Meticulous Audio Restoration!

Originally posted, June 16, 2014

“Blue Savannah” is a song by British synth-pop duo Erasure that was issued as a single on 26 February 1990, from their fourth studio album, Wild! (1989). The song was written by members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. Mute Records released it in Europe as the album’s third single, and Sire Records released it in the United States as the album’s second single. Considered one of the band’s signature songs, the duo still perform it regularly in concerts. It has been described as an uplifting love song; the instrumentation is crisp and heavily synthesized, accented with sweeping, programmed piano.

“Blue Savannah” became one of Erasure’s most successful singles, peaking at number three on the UK singles chart. It also returned the band to the Top 20 in Germany, where the song hit number thirteen. The release of the single brought about the usual array of remixes and B-sides. Although several club mixes of “Blue Savannah” were issued commercially, the US promo only Shep Pettibone “Out of the Blue” mix proved to be most popular in dance clubs.

In the US “Blue Savannah” peaked at #44 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play Chart.

The Shep Pettibone mixes were only originally released on this U.S. promo.
