Upstairs at Eric's by Yaz (Eric's being the Punk-era equivalent to the Cavern.)

I think, with Eric's, they referred to Eric Ratcliffe's (producer) home. They were upstairs at Eric Ratcliffe's.
Ratcliffe (a later member of The Assembly, who did also work with Depeche Mode and produce Yazoo's "You And Me Both") engineered that album. Even his mum is credited for having provided her voice for the weird "I Before E Except After C"

Haha. You're probably correct, Geir. I was only guessing.

And, btw., there is no song called "Upstairs At Eric's" on that album anyway :-)

How I would dearly love for some of those songs to actually exist! Can't someone write them, like the Britpop anthems elsewhere?
