OMD mark the 40th anniversary of their US breakthrough album ‘Crush’, with a special edition due for release on 10th October. Crush propelled OMD into the American spotlight with hits like ‘So In Love’ and ‘Secret’. The newly expanded album will be available on 2LP coloured vinyl, 2LP black vinyl, 2CD and digital formats.

Remastered from the original analogue files, the special anniversary release sees a wealth of brand new material including seven unreleased tracks from the album’s multitrack sessions, mixed by Paul Humphreys.

The release also comes with two demos, an alternative mix, four never-before-heard songs, plus non-album b-sides and extended or 12″ mixes, some of which have never been reissued or issued on CD/digitally.

The package is rounded out with rare photos and comprehensive notes by journalist and author Jason Draper in conversation with Andy McCluskey.
