Upstairs at Eric's (1982) is Yazoo's first album produced by the band and Eric Radcliffe with assistance from Daniel Miller. It reached # 2 in UK and # 92 in US. It was later released as an audio CD in October 25, 1990. The album is an influential synth pop release which did much to establish the link between American-style R&B and European electronica, a marriage which defined much of the Top 40 throughout the 1980s.

When issued on compact disc in 1986, I Before E Except After C, which is composed mostly of cut-up speech and is generally considered not to fit in with the rest of the album, was dropped from the tracklisting. The track still appears on the U.S. version. However, none of the American releases include Tuesday, which was unreleased in the USA until included on a "Best Of" package in 1999.

Don't Go
Yazoo Lyrics
Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love gonna see me through
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Baby make your mind up give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin' shut the door and turn the lock
Hey go get the doctor, doctor came too late
Another night I feel alright my love for you can't wait
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer, now I know it's true I'm dead when you walkout the door
Hey babe I'm hooked on you
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Don't go, don't go, don't go

I think the lead is played on an Arp 2600. The bass is a Sequential Pro One.

That's what made the New Wave era so cool !

@cagney billingsley She was and still is gorgeous in my eyes 😍
mgparis
@cagney billingsley that's not a nice thing to say... she was gorgeous at any size, plus you're incorrect, she actually lost a lot of weight some years ago
cagney billingsley
it's a shame she always remained big. she had a great bone structure she would have been gorgeous sans the extra weight
mgparis
50 years old here and I couldn't agree more
