OMD Red Frame White Light

[RikTRFC]

Meols! Not Pensby...

[Prankinhead]

when i make prank calls and they ask for a contact number, i say 632 3003

[timebandit90]

(0151) 632 3003 was a phone box in pensby .. bloody thing was ringing all the time after this track came out lol

[anitacosmical]

Fantástico.

[simonwatson38]

To date my fav omd song!!

[afterlee]

Wow, great video! Why isn't this on their greatest hits?!?!?! I bought it when it came out!

[Diddlydewdrop]

Ah, happy days  : )

[wildenfree]

They should add this to their live set

[vjrei]

For me this was the shitiest song from OMD. But now that I read the story... still the shitiest with a story that I couldn't care less.

[RikTRFC]

I live in Meols! People still call that number too. It's still the number of the phonebox.

[SoundOfGirlsAloud]

@RikTRFC I've just found this from Wikipedia! I live in Meols too. Gives it a bit more interesting culture eh?

[beamergeezer]

excellent

[StormtroopersInDrag]

Fuckin great stuff! Thanks for uploading!

What was the B-side: 'I betray my friends' (plus another track)? Please help.

Happy memories and times!

[nickmk1]

b side on 7inch was i betray my friends

[shayman31]

well remember me and my mate putting this on in his bedroom on 7'' and trying to phone the number up in the song! No answer but one of my favourites.

[zellyzelda]

meols is on the wirral

[k9thewonderdog]

I saw these guys at HURRAH in NYC in the early 80's late 80's

awsome stuff

[incredibleXMan]

Its a bit annoying that this first single is not on their singles collection which I got recently.

[svenroser]

Wow!This is truly some rare stuff!!I always thought that Messages or Electricity were the first singles!That means I have to revise my theory about the very first real videoclip ever made.Got to be this one,as it states to be 1979!Avant garde indeed.Wonder what the British must have been thinking of this,back in the day.Would anybody have realised what legends they eventually became?This is where D.M.,Duran and Spandau cut the mustard!Long live OMD!!!

[mcklain]

It's a fan made video :)

[svenroser]

OOps!Well,then I just made a complete fool of myself...Damn,there goes my wonderful theory about musicvideos.Oh well..never mind...

[brickbat246]

Can I just say again that this is such a fabulous track and now I wanna listen to it all the time - it's THAT sort of song once u hear it 1st time. In other words, it's an addictive tune!

[brickbat246]

This is the 1st time I've heard this song (and I claim 2 b a megafan) and I think it's xclnt! PS Did u know that this is their first Guinness Hit Singles entry (it reached No.67 in Feb 80)?

[ffm20zaheri]

how i love this post punk , pre modern rock and dance music style of their early songs

unfortunately they have never become as important as for example depeche mode

but their biggest hit on the billboard hot 100 charts was IF YOU LEAVE a soundtrack to the teen movie PRETTY IN PINK

i have no idea what im telling you know but its youtube :-)

[daytonamt]

Anybody else out there have the OMD error 45rpm of this? The label says Red Frame/White light and the B.side says I Betray my Friends but instead plays Martha and the Muffins-Echo Beach?

[zellyzelda]

we got all there records

[scubapod]

My youth passed before eyes and ears with this I drove my wife soft with this thank god I couldnt play a keyboard absolutely Awsome...

[matthew11222]

this is a darling way to present this already awesome song

[Sunnywoman1968]

632 3003

[GreasbyGraham]

I live just up the road from the phonebox

[Kingcoinhunter]

Is this phone box still using this number i wonder, i can never get an answer from 0151 632 3003 , i guess it may still be a phone box even after 28 years with the same number too! cool <:-)

[nigel2568]

Yes this phonebox still exists. And yes, it still has 632 3003 as its phone-number.

[scouse21]

Just outside the pub !! How convenient!! LOL Been to that phonebox a few times. The OMD fanclub tried to get a plaque put inside (or ouside), but was refused by the council!! IDIOTS!!

[philbiglicks]

it was one of them tunes that was always in your head when you were a kid was so catchy.

[philbiglicks]

it was the number to a phone box in birkenhead dont know if it still rings though its 0151 632 3003 try it u never know

[Kingcoinhunter]

I just phoned the number and a guy called andy mc cluskey answered :-)

[flatleythebard]

Did he now? Did he tell you about Sealand and the Messerschmidt Twins? No? Ye Gods! You MUST call him back! Tell him Joan of Arc sent you.

[Leopardman33]

Ahhh that was so cool - thankyou!:)
