Erasure - A Little Respect (Big Train Mix) (Germany 12") (1988)

“A Little Respect” is a song written and recorded by the English synthpop duo Erasure, released in September 1988. It was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. The lyrics are a plea to a lover to show compassion and respect. The heavily synthesized instrumentation is accentuated by acoustic guitar and Bell’s vocal falsetto in the chorus. It was their tenth single and was taken from their third studio album, The Innocents. Known as one of their signature songs, the single reached number four on the UK Singles Chart and was Erasure’s second consecutive top-20 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it made number 14, and reached number two on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

In June 2021 “A Little Respect” was voted the ‘Ultimate Pride Anthem’ by Virgin Radio UK listeners.
