Electronic to reissue ‘Raise The Pressure’ and ‘Twisted Tenderness’ on vinyl

Electronic are to reissue their 1996 album Raise The Pressure and 1999’s Twisted Tenderness on vinyl, in August.

Twisted Tenderness hasn’t been released on vinyl before, while Raise The Pressure hasn’t been on vinyl since its original release 29 years ago. Both albums will be available as 2LP sets, remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios.

Raise The Pressure saw Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr joined by former Kraftwerk musician Karl Bartos, who co-wrote six of the album’s 13 songs. It spawned the singles ‘Forbidden City’, ‘For You’ and ‘Second Nature’, with only ‘Forbidden City’ reaching the Top 20.

While Bartos had departed by Twisted Tenderness, Electronic’s third album was co-produced by Arthur Baker and saw a backing band comprising Doves singer Jimi Goodwin on bass and Icicle Works/Black Grape percussionist Ged Lynch. Its sole single ‘Vivid’ reached No 17.

The reissues follow the re-release of debut album Electronic on vinyl back in 2015, with the duo’s 2006 compilation Get The Message: The Best Of getting its first vinyl release in 2023. The 2CD edition of Electronic from 2013 is the only release of Electronic’s three albums to add any bonus material.

Although Sumner and Marr have occasionally staged mini “reunions” of Electronic at each other’s concerts, the duo have long maintained there will be no formal full Electronic concerts or new music. Marr plays at Forever Now festival at Milton Keynes Bowl on June 22, while New Order finished their most recent tour in the US in May.

Raise The Pressure and Twisted Tenderness are released by Parlophone on 22 August 2025.
