Yazoo - Upstairs At Eric's (Vinyl LP | IT Original | 1982)

Yazoo – Upstairs At Eric's is the 1982 Mute album by the duo of Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke. Clarke's cool, minimal synth arrangements meet Moyet's powerful, soulful voice – with “Don't Go” and “Only You” it contains two of Yazoo's best-known songs and is a classic of early synth-pop. On offer is the Italian original pressing from 1982 (Mute, MUT 20326) with inner sleeve.
