From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below is a list of songs recorded by English synthpop duo Erasure which were either released as B-sides to their singles, included on film soundtracks or compilation albums or otherwise not included on their official album releases.

All B-sides from 1985 through 1992 were included on the four Mute Records-issued EBX box sets.
Songs are listed alphebetically. Solo work from Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell are not included. Also not included are songs which are unreleased. Unless described below as a cover version or a collaboration, all songs are written by Clarke and Bell.
