About
The Best of OMD is a compilation album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1988. It The version of "Electricity" used is the same as the one featured on their debut album (which itself is the band reworking Martin Hannett's original Factory version). The band was originally going to use their very first version of this song, but found the drumming to be inferior and so settled for the remix of the track instead. "Messages" is the more popular 10" single version. "Tesla Girls" and "Talking Loud and Clear" are both 7" edited versions. The Australian version of the album featured "We Love You" since that song had been a popular hit there. The album was a significant commercial success. "Dreaming" was released as a single and made little impact on the UK charts, reaching number 50, but it was a hit in the US (#16) and Germany (#26).
