Cilla Black celebrates 50 years in showbusiness this month, and here is a personal message by the lady herself. The music in the background is taken from the Matt Pop club mix of Cilla’s Imagine. The radio edit of that mix will be included on The Very best Of Cilla Black, which will be released October 14. http://youtu.be/CHas_qz6BFY

Matt Pop’s Safety Dance Bootleg mix gets official thumbs up

Erasure competition on Matt Pop Facebook page!
This week, the final tracklisting of Erasure‘s upcoming Christmas album “Snow Globe” was announced (my absolute favourite title: “Blood On The Snow”!). The album features no Matt Pop production, not a single one. Go figure!! To amend this, I have made an unofficial club mix of Andy and Vince‘s Yuletide classic She Won’t Be Home, which is already hiding on YouTube, unseen to the general public. Before the video is published properly in a few weeks time, I want to give 10 Erasure fans the chance to see it first. So, after my ABBA competition, which yielded twenty winners in about 3,8 seconds, I have thought long and hard about a better question; the kind you can’t Google; the kind you have to be a proper fan to know the answer to. And I think I got it: between two numbers on the DVD of Erasure‘s amazing 1992 live show The Tank, The Swan And The Balloon, Andy Bell sings a few lines a capella from a song by a Dutch band. What is the name of that song? Send your answer IN A PRIVATE MESSAGE on the official Matt Pop Facebook page (answers posted as comments on the page will NOT be counted!) and the first ten correct answers will receive the secret YouTube link. Good luck! https://facebook.com/mattpopofficial
