Description
OMD Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Crush Vinyl LP 1985 Virgin Records EX Crush is the title of the sixth OMD studio album. It was released on 17 June 1985 on the Virgin label in the UK.
As well as going Top 20 in the UK[1] Crush was also the bands' first chart album in the US [2]. Although not completely moving away from OMD's more experimental sound, many tracks represent the group's desire to break the US market with a more commercial product. Producer Stephen Hague was also drafted in for this purpose.
The lead single So In Love (co-written with Hague) was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, although the follow-up Secret fared less well in both countries, only just making the Top 40 in the UK. A third single La femme accident failed to make the Top 40.
The overall sound and success of Crush however gave the group more recognition in the US and they were consequently invited to make a contribution to the soundtrack of the teen-movie Pretty in Pink. The track If You Leave, written specifically for the movie, reached no.4 on the American Hot 100 in May 1986 and remains one of their best known songs in the US. The single featured the Crush track 88 Seconds in Greensboro on the B-side, a song chronicling the Greensboro massacre of November 1978.
