The Innocents, originally released on 18th??April 1988, was the first Erasure album to hit the UK #1 spot (first on 30th??April 1988 and again in January 1989), a chart-topping position they revisted with each of their next four album releases.
Featuring the singles A Little Respect, Ship Of Fools and Chains Of Love, The Innocents was Erasure’s third studio album release, following Wonderland and The Circus, and the album that secured their position as one of Britain’s most beloved and enduring songwriting duos.
In over two decades together, Andy Bell and Vince Clarke (a founding member of Depeche Mode and Yazoo) have sold more than 20 million albums around the globe, proving themselves masters of every kind of song from disco symphonies to unplugged ballads.
