Chorus - Erasure

'Chorus' was the first single from Erasure's 1991 album of the same name. A track with an environmental theme, it was produced by Martyn Phillips and written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. The single reached number 3 in the UK singles chart and became a top 10 hit in Denmark and Ireland.

The B-side track 'Over the rainbow' is notable for its lyric namechecking the members of the Swedish group Abba. Erasure would record a tribute to that group the next year, in the form of the 'Abba-esque' EP.

My collection: 7" single no. 1501
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, August 6, 1991
