On this day, 23 Feb 1986, Liverpool electronic popsters Orchestral Manoeuvres in Dark, played Cardiff’s St David’s Hall as part of their Crush tour with support provided by The Flaming Mussolini’s.
The tour was was originally scheduled for November 1985 but delayed due to touring commitments in the USA.
Crush was the sixth studio album released on 17 June 1985 by Virgin Records.
It was the first of two OMD albums produced by American record producer Stephen Hague.
Aimed primarily at the US market, where the album sold well, Crush is notable for moving the band's sound in a far more commercial direction, although elements of earlier experimentation are still present.
