OMD by Ed Miles

OMD celebrate four decades of their fifth studio record.

OMD will reissue their 1984 album Junk Culture on vinyl later this year to mark its 40th anniversary.

Remastered from the original ½ inch reels by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, the album is to be released on June 20th and will carry an alternate version of its Tesla Girls single.

“The final version we did for the original album was made out of the 12-inch extended version,” Paul Humphreys explained.

For this reissue, we elected to use the Wisseloord edit version as it’s the same arrangement that we play live, and I think it’s the best one. The one on the original album goes around the piano riff twice in the intro but I think this Wisseloord edit was always the definitive version.
