Description
The tour is preceded by In Your Room, a 4 disc box set which includes:
Remasters and 5.1 mixes of both Yazoo's classic albums Upstairs At Eric's and You And Me Both
B-sides and remixes
DVD featuring a new short film containing exclusive new interviews with Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet and the promo videos for Don't Go, The Other Side Of Love, Nobody's Diary, Situation (1990) and Only You (1999)
The joyous, unlikely coming together of Vince Clarke, who had just left Depeche Mode, and Alison Moyet lasted for only 2 albums, saw them performing only 24 concerts worldwide, but left an indelible mark on pop.
Yazoo released Upstairs At Eric's in July 1982 then parted company just 12 months later on release of the second album You And Me Both, which reached Number 1 in the UK.
Vince and Alison have since gone on to have their own successful careers, Vince with Erasure and Alison as a solo performer, both releasing Top 30 critically acclaimed hit albums in 2007 - Erasure with Light At The End Of The World and Alison Moyet with The Turn.
The Reconnected Tour will also see Yazoo perform material from You And Me Both for the very first time as well as pop classics Only You and Don't Go.
"It's been really good going back to these songs after such a long while. Many of them have never been played live. I'm looking forward to performing them with Alison for all the fans who've enjoyed our music through the years but never had a chance to see Yazoo in concert." Vince Clarke
"Playing this material live is not about revision for me, it is about finishing something we started - writing, recording, performing. Three parts of a whole. A salmon cycle. It’s like going home." Alison Moyet
