Summary: Complete Erasure
Review: I have the Pop VHS and have watched it a million times. Having all of those videos and more on a 2-DVD set is the greatest thing I can imagine right now. At a low retail price, this is a must have DVD set. I can safely and surely give it a 5-star rating even though it hasn't been released.

Summary: The best collection of Erasure's music videos & performances
Review: I know, the DVD hasn't even been released yet. But many Erasure fans already know that this 2-DVD set will satisfy their cravings for music videos and live performances that had a limited-run or never been played on American TV.
You get all of Erasure's music videos from "Who Needs Love Like That?" to the latest "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)." Treasures to be found include the "Rain" music video, which uses footage from the San Francisco show for the 1997 Cowboy Tour....footage was that intended to be another concert video, but was never released.
Other gems include various live performances from concert tours of the past and mini-documentaries about Erasure's past releases.
U.S. Erasure fans in the past, usually had difficulties tracking down these videos because either the VHS tape is out of print, or it isn't in NTSC format. But now it's going to all be on 2-dvds and everyone's anticipating its release.

Summary: Erasure: The Masters Of Synth Pop
Review: I really don't think that there could be another group with the same ophistication, hits, or charisma as Erasure. This is sure enforced with the release of Erasure Hits!The Videos. I've had Erasure Pop! The First 20 hits, and could not wait another minute to own this compilation. There is really not much absent from this DVD, although I would have been pleased if the package contained an order form for purchasing memorabilia or something. Nevertheless, at any price, I would had still ran to the store to get this awesome release. The videos are at times embarrasing, especially "Take a chance on me", "Oh L'amour", and "Solsbury Hill." Still, watching the career of Andy Bell and Vince Clark through this videos is never boring, but shows their accomplishments as an electro-pop band. My recommendation is just simply to buy this without any hesitation.

Summary: WOW - better than I expected!
Review: I was really impressed by this disc. I picked it up as a shot of nostalgia, but was blown away. I came away from it more impressed by Erasure than I ever have been. The videos were all fun, and since most of them have some vague story they're fun to watch more than once. The music is really good too - I never really noticed at the time, but Erasure were clearly aiming for a sound that wasn't tied into whatever the current technology or musical trend was. They never sound like any other synth-poppers around at the same time - which is probably why I never thought, "Oh that sounds SO 1991" or whenever. And the singer, Andy Bell can really sing and put on a show. Man, THIS is the kind of pop music we need today - made by a band who makes happy, melodic music because they like it! NOT by a bunch of stage-school rejects fronting music made on an assembly line! The picture quality and sound are both excellent, and aside from the videos (there were way more than I'd imagined!), there's lots of TV footage, live performances, 'alternate' or rare videos....... tons of stuff. It's good value for money, and if you even think your tastes run this way, do yourself a favor and buy it.

Summary: Great deal, not so great videos...
Review: I was really looking forward to this dvd, not having been able to locate a laserdisc copy or unwilling to purchase the vhs version. I got it and played it, and was underwhelmed. If you've seen the Pet Shop Boys' (and even Morrissey) earlier videos and been frustrated with them, you'll know what i mean. It seems as if they have the budget, but the directors/producers/artists/etc. don't have good ideas when it comes to making good videos. One of the better ones is for "In My Arms - US version" this one was shot for over here i guess, but its a much better video than most of the official ones. "Rock Me Gently" is just cheesy, Marilyn Monroe? doesn't go with the song and i don't know that video is about. Fingers and Thumbs is ok, but the rest are just too.....mediocre. The only thing that salvages this is the second disc, with the live performances(they had to edit Fingers and Thumbs, darn!) and the promos. But again, it was a bargain at this price, so i don't feel too bad having purchased this, and if nothing else it'll be good background music while i'm lounging.

Summary: 80's synth at it's best
Review: if you enjoyed 80s synth this is for you. I have dropped a star because the menu navigation is one of the worst. You cant really tell where you are but at this price to get 35 videos and 15 extras plus some easter eggs on the 2nd dvd how can you go wrong. Even if just for A LITTE RESPECT (on of the 80s best pop songs) or Erasures ABBA tribute videos, or even their semi comeback 97 hit IN MY ARMS. Andys great voice brings back great 80s memories. SO for this price for over 50! videos dont hesitate to buy!

Summary: the perfect collection...maybe!
Review: If you have the VHS version of POP and watched it as much as I have, you will be relieved to know that the days of "rww" and "ff" are over! All those videos are included on this 2-DVD set. In addition, every video released since has also been included - what at treat! Pop in the 2nd DVD and you will see alternative videos, live performances and interviews, plus every menu will 'somehow' give you access to hidden videos including "oh l'amour" and "who needs love like that (hamburg mix)", play around with your up, down, left and right arrow keys. The collection is missing the newest video released to promote the Hits Collection - "Oh L'amour 2003" which is really nicely done but you can only view it at http://www.erasureinfo.com - their official site. Highlights on this DVD collection: "In My Arms (US Video Version)", "Sono Luminus (Accoustic Version)", "Rock Me Gently" and a very funny "Don't Say Your Love Is Killing Me", plus all the classics "A Little Respect", "Victim of Love", "Chains of Love", Oh L'amour".
