Union Street (CDSTUMM235) is the title of the twelfth album by Erasure. Announced on their website in November 2005, Union Street was released on 3 April 2006 in the UK and on 18 April 2006 in the U.S. by Mute Records.
This album contained past Erasure songs, "re-interpreted in an acoustic or country & western style". The album was preceded in the UK and the U.S. by the four-track Boy EP on 20 March and 4 April, respectively.Boy EP was not eligible for the UK singles chart and was released to U.S. markets as a download-only. A bonus remix of "Boy" was available to U.S. buyers of Union Street on iTunes.
All tracks written by Andy Bell and Vince Clarke.
A remix of "Boy" by Pete Anderson was made exclusively available on iTunes to U.S. buyers of the Union Street album download. According to the official release notes, it featured Pete Anderson (ex-Dwight Yoakam producer) on guitar, mandolin and bass, Bob Bernstein (who worked on the Academy Award-winning score for "Brokeback Mountain") on pedal steel guitar and Tommy Funderburk (Mötley Crüe, Whitesnake and Boston amongst others) on background vocals.
Subsequent to their acquisition of Erasure's back catalog, and in anticipation of the band's 30th anniversary, BMG commissioned reissues of all previously released UK editions of Erasure albums up to and including 2007's Light at the End of the World. All titles were pressed and distributed by Play It Again Sam on 180-gram vinyl and shrinkwrapped with a custom anniversary sticker.
