Dreaming - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

When the compilation album 'The best of OMD' was released in 1988, the new track 'Dreaming' was released as the accompanying single. Produced by OMD and mixed by Tom Lord Alge, it was an uncharacteristically uncomplicated lovesong.

While the single was not a big success in the UK (where it peaked at number 50), it was the band's second most successful single in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 16. It was also the last single by OMD in their original lineup, as Paul Humphreys left the band in 1989 to form The Listening Pool. Andy McCluskey continued OMD on his own.

My collection: 7" single no. 4246
Found: Record fair, Utrecht, November 21, 2009
Cost: 0,5 euro
Tracks: 'Dreaming' / 'Satellite'
