ANDY BELL
THE CROWN JEWELS
CROWN
If you want to know just how prolific Andy Bell and his producer Dave Audé were in making Mr Erasure’s first pop solo album since 2010’s Non-Stop in the shape of Ten Crowns, head to the bonus songs on the first disc of this new 4CD set.
You’ll find four songs there that didn’t make the final cut – including an interstellar duet with Sophie Ellis-Bextor on The Calming, which is as good a duet as you’d hope.
