Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 7 - Stop! (Erasure)
Although I had heard and liked their previous songs, "Stop!" is probably the song that first caught my attention and made me really like the group, It was a few years later when I really became a fan and followed them.
"Stop!" was featured on Erasure's Christmas EP "Crackers International" back in 1988 where the album reached a very impressive number 2 on the UK charts.
This song always reminds me of Christmas thanks to it being released during the festive period, and once again I remember it originally being on a compilation tape that my sister made for me.

Released in October 1983, Never Never stayed in the charts for 10 weeks and peaked at an impressive number 4.
Useless bit of information... A great deal of the music video was filmed at Upminster windmill, not too far from Laindon where I grew up!
