Yeah, Saw them two years ago at the Manchester Apollo. I believe Andy Bell is HIV positive and not been too well ''alegedly''

@maccatoyou

I knew he was HIV positive, but that's all.

I've had some fierce arguments with people on my uploads about "gay music" and "hetero" music, and said I don't give a fuck as long as it's good music !

@roddy76to86 - Great comment. Does it really matter who in the pop world - or any other walk of life - is gay?Some of the finest musicians and singers are gay. Surely it's their music that we love and enjoy so much that matters.

@6DoKtoR3

I essentially borrowed from a great quote by a guy called Rusty Egan, who was the DJ at the famous "Blitz Club" where those New Romantics got going. He was referring to synth bands and saying "He's gay, he's gay, oh yes and he's gay; they're all fucking gay ! SO WHAT ? Can you make another record please...?" And some bastard "outed" Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, who wasn't ashamed to be gay, but didn't want the band's music mixed up with all this pointless stereotyping.

Oh i see mate lol... Sorry it went over my head! I must say that a lot of my memories of those great days are fading with age ha..ha..

Would have been interesting for me to have seen that documentary.

I'm going to see Erasure in Delamere forest outside of Liverpool sometime in july ;0)

Brilliant track! 'Happy Families' is one of the best pop (and synthpop) albums EVER! Almost every track (including this one) is simply amazing. Thanks for posting.

Can anyone upload 'Feel Me' 12" mix?
