In July of 1984, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark released their twelfth single, "Talking Loud And Clear". It was backed by "Julia's Song". The A side appeared on their fifth album, Junk Culture. The B side was a non-LP track. The single reached the #11 spot on the U.K. singles chart. The Cheshire, England new wave band was led by Paul Humphreys (ex-Dalek I Love You) and Andy McCluskey. When Humphries left in 1989, McCluskey kept the band going until 1996. They have recently re-formed with the classic line-up.

Reminds me of the cover of a c. 1991 Beautiful South single--was it "My Book" or "Let Love Speak Up Itself"?
