Selling a Stunning Archive Copy of
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Self Titled First Vinyl Album
Matrix A2/B1
Label DIN DISC DID 2
12 x 12 Black Die Cut Sleeve and Rare Pink Inner designed by Peter Saville
This is both a stunning visual copy with sleeve and inner but also a stunning vinyl
The original sleeve design featured a blue outer sleeve combined with an orange inner with a 12 x 12 die-cut grid. When Peter Saville realised that the printers could change the colour combinations every 10,000 copies at no extra cost he opted for a black/pink variation. When DinDisc realised that OMD fans were buying the second version they asked for a third design. The complete sleeve variations were as follows:
- 12 x 12 die-cut grid. Blue outer and orange inner sleeve.
- 12 x 12 die-cut grid. Black outer and pink inner sleeve.
- 10 x 10 die-cut grid. Grey outer and orange inner sleeve.
- 10 x 10 die-cut grid. Blue outer and orange inner sleeve.
Saville also rectified an earlier mistake by reducing the 12 x 12 grid scheme to 10 x 10 to prevent the inner sleeve from falling out.
The design of the inner sleeve was also subtly altered for some releases. The first design featured the credits in a black 'L' shape on both the front and back of the inner sleeve. Some releases rotated the 'L' shape 90 degrees anti-clockwise but shrank the type for the credits so they appeared on one side only.
After the die-cut sleeves were exhausted they were replaced with a plain sleeve that used the design featured on the cassette release.
Record will be posted in a professional record mailer and inner cards for protection
