Two of the most recognizable sounds from a pair of the most influential alternative rock bands of the '80s - the melodic melancholy of New Order's Bernard Sumner and the sharp hooks of The Smiths' Johnny Marr - joined together in 1990 for the single "Getting Away With It." A Top 20 hit in the U.K. featuring guest vocalist and co-writer Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, the song marked the beginning of a decade-long collaboration between Sumner and Marr. Rhino Records brings together a compilation featuring favorites selected from all three of the band's studio albums along with alternate mixes and rarities. Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic will be available September 19 at all retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested retail price of $18.98.
