Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

Second reissue, in a plain sleeve with white/orange/black artwork derived from the original cassette release and identical to the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1726968]1980 repress[/url]. The plates used to press these records are actually the same ones used to press the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1813212]1981 reissue[/url]. The difference being that the hand-etched catalogue number has been crossed out and a machine-etched matrix number with the new catalogue has been added to the pressing. As with the 1981 reissue, the run-out groove on side one also states: "The words were on the ceiling" , perhaps referring to this being a reissue as the run-out grooves on the original had read: "The words are on the ceiling". Music and lyrics arranged and performed by Humphreys/McCluskey. Recorded and mixed at "The Gramophone Suite," Liverpool. ℗ © 1980 Virgin Records Ltd. Manufactured in the UK.
