I am feeling extremely sick with envy. The orange is beautiful. I wanted the Queen double blue vinyl LP but missed out (it seems double blue vinyl is something that brings out strange feelings in people).
The OMD LP is a gorgeous colour, it's too bad about the black mark, Horacewimp . I don't know if I'm more appalled at the lack of quality control or the fact that you opened it! I bought a few coloured Queen LPs last year from HMV and they remain firmly sealed - it's the only mint vinyl I have (aside from my copy of 'Video!' which was mint until I played it ). I’m of the opinion, open them up and play them and enjoy the music. When you are gone you won’t care if you kept them sealed or not True.
I think I might be waiting until I get a new record player worthy of playing them first. And I probably will open them as coloured LPs sound so much better than black. I reckon 'Electricity' must seem ten times more perfect on orange than black vinyl or CD .

The album has re entered the chart this week at no.10,due to HMVs event. Other album's have re entered too such as Madness 'One Step Beyond' and Bowie's 'Lets Dance'.

Tried Messages and it doesn’t jump so I guess that’s a positive. Showing my age here but I remember if I had a record that skipped I would balance some coins on the record arm to keep it weighed down as it played. It worked if I remember right. Can’t imagine it was great for the vinyl though. Just got an email saying the album was back in stock although when I went on the order page it was still not available, might be worth checking it periodically?

An 'intimate' online gig perhaps?

Not sure if this has been posted before but my first time seeing it. Quite a good interview with Andy and Paul.

Good little interview with Andy and Paul. The mid 80s was not my favourite period for OMD but still glad that they had a hit in the US...
