Abba-esque is an extended play (EP) by English synth-pop duo Erasure. Released on 1 June 1992, the EP was Erasure's first and only 1 on the UK Singles Chart and also became a No. 1 hit in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, and Sweden.
==Background== Mute Records released Abba-esque in the United Kingdom, while Elektra Records released it in the United States. Music videos were produced for all four tracks and issued as a video EP on VHS. A remix EP was also released by Mute Records in the UK which featured the same four songs in heavily reworked form. Shortly after the release, ABBA's Gold: Greatest Hits album also came out, sparking a revival of ABBA's music that has endured well into the 21st century.
