Initially curated as part of the Grammy-nominated Souvenir boxed set (2019), Archive Volume 1 provides a fascinating insight into the alternative creative process of one of the most successful synth-pop groups of all time at their most triumphant. Six years after the first issue, it makes its vinyl debut. Maintaining OMD’s long tradition of supporting Record Store Day, it’s their ninth such release since 2013.
