Since their singles have always been as well chosen as they were well crafted, Total Pop! The First 40 is top-shelf
Erasure the whole way through, displaying the evolution of the synth pop band through representative singles. This
Total Pop Deluxe Box features the original two-CD Total Pop! with all the synth pop duo’s singles in chronological order, and then adds material geared toward the truly devoted
Bell/
Clarke aficionado. Besides an expanded booklet, the box adds a bonus live CD, plus a DVD of the duo's performances on the BBC television network. ~ David Jeffries
