FYI: I am not a store
-- this CD is part of my personal collection and I am the original
owner. This is the original CD and has
all the original inserts. On a *scale from 1 - 5 (see my scale below) the CD ranks at a "4".
5 = None to a couple light scratches on back of CD. All songs play back great.
4 = A few to several light scratches on back of CD. All songs play back great.
3 = Several to many light scratches on back of CD. All songs still play back great.
2 = Several to many light scratches and/or playback of 1 or two songs is affected.
1 = Many light scratches and/or playback of more than 2 songs is affected.
I
have many CD's for auction (20 years worth), and have tried my best to
honestly determine their playback quality by listening to the first 15
to 30 seconds of each song as well as advancing through and listening
in various spots to each song. However, time would not allow me to
listen to the entire track of each and every CD I am auctioning ( I
have around 100). Please ask any questions before you bid -- I am more
than happy to try and answer!
Some Policies:
All Sales on CD's are Final. No refunds, exchanges, or returns. Please read the item description and scale ranking carefully before bidding and ask questions.
Please Pay Within 7 days of winning the auction.
I will combine shipping charges with my other
items -- just email me and let me know.

Erasure's third album, 1988's THE INNOCENTS, features the US breakthrough hits "A Little Respect," and "Chains of Love," and is a welcome departure for the duo. With this release, Vince Clarke and Andy Bell move away from the strictly-synthesized Hi-NRG dance-pop of their earlier albums, adding horns and gospel-tinged backing vocals for a more soulful, organic sound, while maintaining the disco vitality of earlier albums like WONDERLAND or THE CIRCUS.
Bell's lyrics are more overt in their social commentary, as on "Phantom Bride" and "A Little Respect," and he pointedly leaves the original gender references intact in the CD-only cover of Tina Turner's classic "River Deep, Mountain High." However, the duo is still capable of camp silliness like "Sixty-Five Thousand" and "Yahoo!" giving the album a balanced sensibility. THE INNOCENTS ranks with 1989's WILD! and 1994's I SAY I SAY I SAY as one of Erasure's best albums.
