Released in 1994, “Circus” was an even bigger album than the band’s smash debut “Ultraelectromagneticpop.”
“Circus” had several hit singles that further catapulted the Eraserheads to stardom. Among them were “With A Smile” and "Alapaap” and fan-fave staples such as "Hey Jay,” “Magasin,” and “Minsan.”
Each track captured the imagination of impassioned teens, college students figuring out what to do with their lives, and a music scene at the height of the banda mania of the 90’s.
For many, “Circus” is considered to be one of the defining pop music albums of the era.

Vinyl aficionados, stereophiles and music fans can now pre-order the limited edition copy of Eraserheads “Circus” starting March 12. 2023.
Offshore Music’s post reminded that the “maximum limit allowed purchase of this is one (1) per customer per address” due to the limited 3,500 copies that were pressed.
Get ready to fork over more of your inflation-weakened cash as the vinyl edition of “Circus” by Eraserheads will set you back P3,900.
But the two-LP set, remastered from the original analog reels by Bernie Grundiman and printed on Japanese premium gatefold tip-on jacket with the faithful reproduction of the original artwork painting by Mark Justiniani with a lyric insert and new liner notes written by Wincy Ong and yes, all the classic songs in it, we’re guessing that it’s going to be worth every peso.
