Template:Music ratings Wild! is the fourth studio album by English synth-pop duo Erasure. Released in October 1989, the album was produced by the band, along with Gareth Jones and Mark Saunders, and released by Mute Records in the UK and Sire Records in the U.S.
History
During the album's production, singer Andy Bell recorded with producer Gareth Jones at the Church Studios, while Vince Clarke worked on the synths and programming with producer Mark Saunders at Vince's home studio—both in London.[1]
Upon release, Wild! became Erasure's second consecutive number-one album in the UK and all four singles taken from the album hit the UK Top 20, with "Drama!" and "Blue Savannah" reaching the Top 5.
In the U.S., the album reached number 57 on the Billboard 200, but none of the singles released from it charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Three songs from Wild! charted on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". "You Surround Me" was not released as a single in the United States. The album also charted well in Germany, where it hit number 16.
Reissues
Subsequent to their acquisition of Erasure's back catalogue, and in anticipation of the band's 30th anniversary in 2016, BMG commissioned reissues of all previously released UK editions of Erasure albums up to and including 2007's Light at the End of the World. All titles were pressed and distributed by Play It Again Sam on 180-gram vinyl and shrinkwrapped with a custom anniversary sticker.
A two-disc version of the album was released by BMG in the UK and Europe on 29 March 2019 to commemorate the original 1989 release. It features the remastered album on disc one and a selection of rarities, B-sides, live tracks, and new remixes on disc two.[2]
