88 Seconds in Greensboro- Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

[amjabs69]

OMD doing dark and heavy very, very well. Should have done it more often.

[codepgp]

is that 88 seconds in greensboro North carolina?

[strummeresque]

@codepgp Yes; it is in reference to the 1978 Greensboro Massacre when idiot Klansmen and Nazis who got off scott-free for eight murders.

[Nivatio]

@codepgp yup sure is

[Nivatio]

My first ever group that i bought on tape, i think i need to get my tapes converted lol

[JCSJS]

All these years that I have worshipped this song, since my freshman year of college, I had NO idea - and I mean NO idea- what this song was even about. Now I like it even more!

[hoover321f]

this album was the sound track to the summer of 1987. wore this tape out from so much use. memories of the beach at lake michigan!

[Rycrias]

Such a fantastic album...Native Daughters is still my favorite song on Crush.

[chargen]

88 is all it takes

whatever it takes

;-)

[agentekgb]

OMD's Crush album is excellent. Used to listen to it at work all the time. Drove my co-workers crazy.

[rafal353535]

suuuuuuuper

[karey26]

this whole album is fucking unbelievable. secrets, crush, native daughters of the golden west but this is the best song.

[marsyro]

just got their greatest hits, 88 second and secret got left off. made me sad

[karey26]

i can see maybe 88 seconds because it wasn't promoted but secret? that is truly shocking!

[ctspf]

Andy said he left Secrets off because he didn't like the song anymore. I also find it sad, it's one of my favourite Crush tracks.

[ctspf]

Blimey, I hadn't heard this song in quite a long time. Thanks for posting it!

It sounds quite New Order-ish, doesn't it?

[dusk728728]

yeah otra cancion genial de omd vaya que sorpresa tampoco pense que tuvira video

[Supermercado]

One of the most underrated songs...

[publicskewlkid]

on that same day in 1979, the larger cities in U.S. were racking up all kinds of hate motivated black on black and black on white kills, a very conservative guess would be 30

that's thumb to wind with eyes closed guess

but I'll bet it was higher not lower than the guessed est 30.

which side was OMD on when they tried to make

drama and politics inserted in pop music out of an hilariously stupid event??

[marsyro]

thank god this dumbass "publicskewlkid "got his account closed .What a stupid remark to make .There was nothing funny about the nazi/klan killings that inspired this song. May the victims rest in peace.

[karey26]

i'm glad i didn't see his remark, i may have got myself banned too.

[beamergeezer]
