Yaz: Upstairs At Eric’s Vinyl LP

Goodbye seventies!Vince Clarke formed Yazoo (called Yaz in the States for legal reasons) with Alison Moyet shortly after quitting Depeche Mode, and the duo enjoyed immediate success with their debut albumUpstairs At Erics. The record is named after the studio it was recorded in: album producer Eric Radcliffes Blackwing Studios which was situated just above Clarkes own studio. Ice cold electro beats, rubbery analog basslines; its like Kraftwerk but with more soul, and Moyets soaring voice is leagues above the robot poetry that peppered Computer World released just the previous year. Wait for the break in Situation and youll see where Dopplereffekt got their swag. Includes the hits Dont Go, Only You, Midnight, In My Room and more. MoFisilver label pressing for those of you who like your synthpop beaming through in audiophile-grade sound, individually numbered limited edition.
