OMD Singles

The 'Singles' Gallery is the largest collection of OMD covers ever compiled in one place! Comprising mainly of 7" and 12" issues there are images here that cover most parts of the globe. From common European releases to rare & obscure South American or Asian products there is very little territory that OMD have not covered over the years.

Unless you are a serious OMD collector it is difficult to appreciate just how many variations of sleeve design or track listings have been produced, especially in the early years from 1980 to 1983. The images contained in this gallery are not the complete output but have been specially selected to illustrate the variety that exists. More images will be added from time to time, web space permitting!
