Getting away with it - Electronic

Electronic debuted in 1989 with this single, 'Getting away with it', written by Bernard Sumner from New Order, Johnny Marr, ex-Smiths guitarist, and Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant. The lyric is a parody of Marr's Smiths partner Morrissey and his public stereotyping as morose and masochistic. Vocals were performed by Sumner and Tennant on this track.

The sleeve of the single was designed by Peter Saville, who used an elegant stock photo of a glass of whisky. The single peaked at number 12 in the UK.
