OMD were among a slew of artists who helped celebrate HMV’s Vinyl Week recently. From 8 June, the band’s album, History Of Modern, was issued as special edition orange vinyl exclusively in store.
Other LPs which received colour pressings included T. Rex’s Tanx (pink etched), the Mamma Mia! Soundtrack (picture disc) and Juju by Siouxsie & The Banshees (limited gold vinyl).
Gennaro Castaldo of the UK record labels association, the BPI, said: “Drawing on its rich music heritage, HMV has played its full part in helping to bring the format back into mainstream popular culture – giving it significant profile instore as well as major promotion through HMV Vinyl Week.”
