Somewhere along the line you chaps have become hopelessly confused, I'm afraid 
to say.

1. That is NOT Alison Moyet on the cover.

Alison Moyet was in the UK group Yazoo [with Vince Clarke], AKA Yaz in the US 
for copyright considerations.

2. The woman on the cover is a woman who was a UK pop-house act called 'Yaz', 
late '80s, early '90s.

3. Eric is NOT Vince Clarke. Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode after their first 
big hits and commenced a series of projects, including the one with Alison 
Moyet, afterwards.

4. The 'Eric' referred to on Yazoo's first LP called 'Upstairs at Eric' is not 
a real person of course.

But it is a hint about a real person who was associated with Yazoo early on: 
one Mr. Eric C. Radcliffe. [E.C. Radcliffe on the liner notes of the LP].

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Radcliffe

He was a sort of arranger/ manager/ engineer / producer / all-round figure who 
knows a lot but prefers to skulk around in the background, from what I 
understand.

Now I hope you all were listening, because tomorrow, there will be a test.

Ken

That's Vince Clark you're thinking of.

Wasn't the guy in the group (Eric?) one of the original Depeche Mode guys?  In 
my opinion he took a lot with him after he left DM (after the first album I 
believe).  That first album was groovier than "post Eric" material.
