(Sometimes labeled as a SINGLE MIX)

Moon & the Sky is a song by synthpop duo Erasure. Originally intended as the second single from their ninth studio album Loveboat, the album cut was remixed drastically for radio play by Jason Creasey and packaged with enough additional tracks and mixes that it could be considered an EP. Mute Records released the single in the UK under the title Moon & the Sky Plus, a similar tactic used for one of Erasure’s previous singles (Rain).

The song was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and is an uptempo, electronic dance track. Maverick Records, Erasure’s U.S. record label at the time, requested the single remixes but ended up passing on the Loveboat album altogether and releasing Erasure from their contract, leaving Mute records to release the U.S. version of Loveboat in 2003.

The extended track count and running time of Moon & the Sky Plus made it ineligible for the UK singles chart at the time.
