B sides album

[Pughie]

The b-sides album idea has also been around for quite a few years now and with the past 28 years of flip sides to
choose from this release (if it ever gets released) could well span into a two disc affair.

A possibility is also a three disc version which could have a lone disc just for Vincestrumentals,it's a thought.

Updated after FMTM boxset

It looks like the b-sides collection will just be a two disc affair featuring tracks as voted for by the Erasure Information Service members.
To me this is a wasted opportunity but there you go.

Update a complete list by 4rum member Glazball,also updated 2020 By Pughie

I put together a "complete" list of Erasure's b-sides, and I thought I'd list it out here. I have a total of 95 songs for a total running time of about 6 hours (5 CDs). These are all b-sides, soundtrack or bonus exclusives, or otherwise unavailable normally. I welcome any suggestions.

A few notes: I wanted to over-include rather than under-include, and though I don't like the idea, I included non-single tracks from ABBA-esque. If all other songs on Crackers International beside Stop! are considered "b-sides" then I suppose the same has to hold true for ABBA. Some live tracks are included, but only real performances (not Andy ad-libbing). Also, only "Erasure" credited tracks are included (no side or solo projects), in chronological order.
