Description
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – Electricity – UK 7" vinyl single in thermographic sleeve, 1979. Rare! Label: Factory – FAC 6 Format: Vinyl, 7", 45 RPM Country: UK Released: 21 May 1979 Genre: Electronic, Pop Style: Synth-pop
Vinyl is in very good plus condition - some scuff marks, sounds great but does have noise towards the end of both sides as there is an odd groove (see pics). No idea what's caused this. Cover is excellent minus - it does have a seam split on the bottom edge but, other than this, it looks fantastic. The cover is much darker than the pictures show.
Tracklist A Electricity 3:45 B Almost 3:48
Notes Edition of 5000, sold out by September 1979. Housed in black on black thermographic sleeve and printed and hand folded and glued by John Roberts and Sons Printers, Chapel Street, Salford.
"Peter (Saville)'s idea for this sleeve originated in a thermographic machine installed in the Manchester Polygraphics Department at that time. Peter wanted to experiment with using the same colour thermo ink as the card it was printed on. Originally offered the sleeve concept to A Certain Ratio in the bar of the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, who, arrogant little bastards, told him to get lost. Instead he gave the idea to OMD, became their regular designer and won countless awards for his work with them in the next few years." (Tony Wilson)
