Upstairs at Eric's is the first album by British synthpop band Yazoo, recorded and released in 1982. It was produced by the band and E.C. Radcliffe, with assistance from Daniel Miller. It reached # 2 in the UK Albums Chart and # 92 in the US Billboard 200.
The album, named after the duo's makeshift studio location in producer Eric Radcliffe's home, contained two UK hit singles: "Don't Go" and the ballad "Only You". The North American version substitued the single "Situation" for the UK album track "Tuesday"; "Situation" was a mild hit in the US, peaking at #73, while in Canada, it made the top 40, peaking at #31.
The song "Midnight", track 5 in this album, was later sampled by Rex The Dog in his 2008's hit, "Bubblicious".
