OMD / Junk Culture vinyl reissue

OMD’s 1984 album Junk Culture is being reissued on vinyl, in June.

The band’s fifth studio album was a top 10 hit in the UK and features the singles ‘Locomotion’, ‘Talking Loud and Clear’ and Tesla Girls’. The new vinyl reissue is remastered from the original half-inch reels and cut at half speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road.

There is a difference with this new reissue, however. The band have swapped out the version of ‘Tesla Girls’ for an original edit recorded at Wisseloord studios during the sessions, as Paul Humphreys explains: “The final version we did for the original album was made out of the 12-inch extended version. For this reissue, we elected to use the Wisseloord edit version as it’s the same arrangement that we play live, and I think it’s the best one. The one on the original album goes around the piano riff twice in the intro but I think this Wisseloord edit was always the definitive version“.

Junk Culture will be reissued on 20 June 2025 via UMR.
