OMD / Crush 40th anniversary

OMD’s 1985 album Crush, will be reissued for its 40th anniversary in October.

The band’s sixth album features the singles ‘So In Love,’ and ‘Secret’, with the former reaching the top 30 of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

The album will be reissued as a 2CD deluxe edition featuring seven previously unreleased tracks newly mixed from the multi-tracks. These include four unheard songs. Additionally there’s B-sides and remixes.

The 40th anniversary re-release of Crush has been a wonderful opportunity for us to re-assess the album. 1985 was a period of great intensity with constant touring and time pressure in the studio, but we created a powerful collection of songs and lyrical themes. In hindsight, we made a much better album than we knew at the time. Two hit singles ‘So in Love’ and ‘Secret’ remain live set constants to this day.

Andy McCluskey

The 2LP vinyl edition also features the seven unreleased tracks, but not the B-sides. The standard extended mix of ‘So In Love’ is also omitted. Both formats include rare photos and comprehensive notes by journalist and author Jason Draper in conversation with Andy McCluskey.

Crush will be reissued on 10 October 2025, via UMR / Virgin.
