Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark release 40th anniversary edition of "Electricity"

Last week Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark announced a 7 disc career spanning collection Souvenir. This week OMD made another special announcement - in celebration of the 40th anniversary of their debut single "Electricity," they'll release a limited edition anniversary edition pressed on ultra clear vinyl.

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.

OMD's career spanning collection Souvenir arrives October 4th and is available to pre-order here.
