Customer Reviews

Best for Erasure completists.
Erasue is one of my favorite bands, and I own most of their albums. The Ebx2 collection will probably be best appreciated by the most devoted Erasure collectors. As a collection of singles and remixes this isn't as satisfying a listen as spinning Erasure's full recordings. It includes the standout hits "A Little Respect" and "Chains of Love", but casual fans wanting these songs best should grab THE INNOCENTS or POP! 20 GREAT HITS.

The material on this 5 disc set offers some pleasant surprises. Most notably the live tracks, with outstanding renditions of "Leave Me to Bleed", "Sometimes" and "Who Needs Love Like That". Non Lp tracks also appear, most are wonderful, like the lovely banjo-driven(!) "Don't Suppose" and a danceable remake of the theme from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". On the other hand "Love Is Colder Than Death" is dreary and unmoving, and "Zsa Zsa Zsa Gabor" is a little irritating. The remixes vary in quality too, the best (interestingly enough) are the ones that don't stray far from the original.

I usually don't evaluate a recording's value on it's packaging, but the Ebx2 is one slick work of design: Nice silver outer box with a colorful booklet reproducing the cover art for each single. This alone is worth a star.

Best Christmas Gifts EVER!
I got this and EBX1 as Chirstmas gifts this year. My husband was afraid I wouldn't like them since I normally don't like remixes but OH MY STARS was I surprised! I have been a devoted Erasure fan since Wonderland but never bought any imports or singles because I prefer the originals. BUT: the "Warm Depths" remix of River Deep, Mountain High nearly sent me careening off the road because of my ecstatic bouncing, rocking and jiggling! And all those new songs not available on the original albums (The Soldier's Return, Don't Suppose, Like Zsa Zsa Zsa Gabor, etc.) were little precious gifts to me! I can't get enough of these two box sets! You MUST have these if you are to be a TRUE connoisseur of Erasure!

an erasure box set - its about time.
after a long wait, an erasure box set which contains a wonderful amount of music for the money. singles that are hard to get, though would've been nice to see more unreleased pieces.

the packaging is incredible - and true-erasure. this collection is more for the collector, although you'll probably have most of these tracks on all of those CD5s you have.

buy it here - you're not going to find this anywhere else, trust me, i've looked.
