OMD / Architecture & Morality: The Singles

18-track CD with rarities or triple-coloured vinyl package

To mark the records’s 40th anniversary, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark will release the three singles from 1981’s Architecture & Morality together on one album, along with associated tracks: unreleased demos, studio sessions and live performances.

‘Souvenir’, ‘Joan Of Arc’ and ‘Maid Of Orleans’ are the brilliant, international hit singles from the album but they are joined by 15 other tracks including the demo of ‘Souvenir’, the rough mix of ‘Choir Song’, ‘Motion & Heart (Live at Drury Lane, 1981)’, a rough mix of ‘Joan Of Arc’, the ‘Georgia Demo’ of ‘New Song’, the demo of ‘Maid Of Orleans’ and more!

These 18-tracks are available on one CD called Architecture & Morality: The Singles but they are also being issued as a special anniversary 3×12-inch package in a six-panel, embossed, silver-board gatefold sleeve. The vinyl also comes with a download code.

The singles are pressed on magenta, purple and red vinyl. While the 18-track CD is pre-orderable in most places, the vinyl is slightly different. It is widely available via most channels except in the UK where it appears to be exclusive to the Sound of Vinyl and recordstore.co.uk.

Architecture & Morality: The Singles is released on 15 October 2021.
