The folks at Rhino Records have looked to synth pop legends Erasure and created a box set titled Total Pop! – The First 40 Hits for release April 7. The first 2 discs equal the title in being their singles from their beginnings in the 80s to now (Disc 1 is a remastering of the 1992 retrospective Pop!
