The debut single was released in the UK on 4 December 1989 and then the following year in March 1990 in the United States. The track is a writing collaboration between Electronic’s Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr and both Pet Shop Boys (although only Neil Tennant is being credited on the release), with Tennant providing the backing vocals and Sumner the main vocals.
First released in 2006, Get the Message: The Best Of Electronic is the career spanning collection from the Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner band who released a string of critically acclaimed hits including their debut single Getting Away With It, Get The Message, Disappointed and Feel Every Beat.
This compilation captures the very essence of their groundbreaking sound, blending Marr’s distinctive guitar work with Sumner’s vocals and guest features from Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant (Getting Away With It, Disappointed) and Kraftwerk’s Karl Bartos (For You, Imitation Of Life).
