The 7" single includes the original Factory version of "Electricity," a new mix of the b-side "Almost" remixed by Vince Clarke, plus cover art inspired/adapted by Peter Saville's original "Electricity" artwork.
Andy McCluskey: For Paul and I, holding in our hands an actual vinyl record of a song we had written as 16 year olds was one of the greatest thrills of our young lives. Forty years later, that original garage recording still has a charming energy that makes us proud. We are honoured that Vince Clarke has created such a distinctive personal remix of the B side "Almost."
The 40th anniversary edition of "Electricity" arrives on September 27th and is available to pre-order here.
