Notes: In September 1979, this was reissued by DinDisc, with both sides produced by Martin (Zero) Hannett, and the artwork replaced with standard white on black printing. On this release, the catalogue number became DinDisc DIN 2, but it was still a "Factory Records Product".
In 1980 a 3rd version of the 7" was issued (DinDisc DIN 2 - "A Factory Records Product") with both tracks credited to OMD and Paul Collister ("Chester Valentino") although "Electricity" is actually a remix of the Hannett recording; these are the versions found on OMD's debut LP.
The original version is also found on the Factory Records box set 'Factory Records: Communications 1978-1992'.
Additional: OMD
