Additional Notes:
Limited edition of 5000. Housed in black on black thermographic sleeve designed by Peter Saville and printed and hand folded and glued by Roberts and Sons Printers, Chapel Street, Salford.
"Peter's idea for this sleeve originated in a thermographic machine installed in the Manchester Poly graphics 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." (AHW)
In 1980, this was reissued by DinDisc, with the A-side produced by Martin Hannett, and the artwork replaced with standard white on black printing. On this re-release, the catalogue number became DinDisc DIN 2, but it was still a "Factory Records Product". In 1984 a 3rd version of the 7" was issued (DinDisc DIN 2 - "A Factory Records Product") with both tracks produced by OMD and Chester Valentino in the versions found on OMD's debut LP.
