The Innocents - 21st Anniversary Edition Deluxe (2xCD & 1xDVD)

Erasure's double platinum album The Innocents was originally released in 1988. On Monday 26th October Mute records released a deluxe package to celebrate the original album's 21st anniversary. The deluxe release features 2 CD's and a DVD contained within a 20-page CD sized hardback book format package. The contents include a fully remastered CD of The Innocents, a second CD B-Sides, Remixes & Rarities and a DVD.

The second CD includes the much sought after 7" version of "River Deep Mountain High", the US mixes of "Chains Of Love" and "A Little Respect" and four previously unreleased tracks from the BBC's 'In Concert' recording of Erasure at London's Hammersmith Odeon on The Innocents tour back in 1988.

The DVD (NTSC All Regions) features The Innocents concert from Birmingham's NEC (originally released as a VHS video in 1989) with remixed and remastered audio, plus the two tracks from that concert that have never been released before, and the videos for the three singles taken from the original album, a selection of TV performances from the BBC archives and 'The Innocents live' in MP3 format for you to download to your computer or music player.
