Electronic by the group Electronic available for the first time on Vinyl on January 24, 2020. Electronic had brought together Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr in 1987, the year of the sudden and unexpected breakup of The Smiths, which had imploded in July after Marr’s departure. Two months later, in the middle of an American tour, Bernard Sumner had surprised his New Order bandmates by announcing his departure from the group.
