Upstairs at Eric's (1982) is Yazoo's first album produced by the band and E.C. Radcliffe with assistance from Daniel Miller. It reached # 2 in UK and # 92 in US. It was later released as an audio CD in October 25, 1990.

The album is an influential synth pop release which did much to establish the link between American-style R&B and European electronica, a marriage which defined much of the Top 40 throughout the 1980s. The album, named after the duo's living space in producer Eric Radcliffe's home during the recording, contains three classic singles: "Don't Go," the dance-club staple "Situation," and the ballad "Only You."

When issued on compact disc in 1986, "I Before E Except After C", which is composed mostly of cut-up speech and is generally considered not to fit in with the rest of the album, was dropped from the tracklisting. The track still appears on the U.S. version, however the latter does not include "Tuesday", which was unreleased in the USA until included on a "Best Of" package in 1999.
