About This Track

Written by - Paul Humphreys and Andy McCluskey
Produced by - Martin Zero, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Chester Valentino

Notes - At least four studio versions of Electricity exist (five if the 1978 ID recording is included):
(1) September 1979 A-Side single produced by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Chester Valentino, it was subsequent compiled on Peel Sessions 1979-1983 (2001)
(2) The Martin Hannett studio re-recording, which was released on 21 May 1979 on Factory Records (FAC6), and appears as a bonus track on the expanded re-issue of the debut album, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

(3) A remix of Hannett’s version which was released as a single in March 1980 and subsequently appeared on the band’s debut album, and most the groups three compilation albums.
(4) A fourth mix of “Electricity” was produced by Mike Howlett. This version of “Electricity” was recorded during the Organisation sessions when the band fancied extending the instrumental section in the middle of the song. It was initially released on the Dindisc 1980 compilation album in 1980.[4] In 2003 it was released on CD as a bonus track on the re-issue of Organisation.
