专辑介绍

The Two Ring Circus, released in 1987 on Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S, is a remix album from Erasure that served as a companion piece to their second album The Circus. The vinyl version was a double 12& album playing at 45rpm, featuring 6 previously unreleased remixes and 3 re-recordings. The CD and cassette editions featured an additional 7 live bonus tracks billed as &The Touring Circus&.

UK chart rules at the time made The Two Ring Circus ineligible to chart. It became their second release to briefly slip into the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 186.

The first six tracks on The Two Ring Circus were all new remixes of songs that had already appeared on their second album &The Circus&. The next three tracks were re-recordings of two songs from The Circus and one song from the band's first album Wonderland. All three were orchestral arrangements by Andrew Poppy.

The 7 &Touring Circus& bonus live tracks on the CD and cassette mainly feature songs from Erasure's first two albums. The last track, a live version of &Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)& was their first remake of an ABBA tune, foreshadowing a concept that would later provide them with a number-one in the UK in 1992 with the Abba-esque EP.

All 7 of the CD and Cassette live bonus tracks were recorded in Hamburg and were previously featured on the triple 12& single release for &The Circus&. There was a further live song per 12& not featured on this album. All 10 of these live tracks (plus an 11th originally featured on the &Victim Of Love& CD Single) are featured on disc 2 of the &EBX 2& box-set.

The US editions of the CD and cassette also included an additional remix in the form of an edited version of a previously released remix.
