Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) - Archive Vol. 1 (1981-1990) [2LP] (RSD 2026)

Initially curated as part of the Grammy-nominated Souvenir boxed set (2019),
Archive Volume 1 provides a fascinating insight into the alternative creative process of one of the most successful synth-pop groups of all time at their most triumphant.

Six years after the first issue, it makes its vinyl debut.
