Get the Message is a compilation album by the Johnny Marr/ Bernard Sumner band Electronic, released in September 2006 (see 2006 in music). It is the first career-spanning collection of the band; a 1999 Japanese compilation was cancelled just before release. [4]
The album includes every A-side, two B-sides ("Imitation of Life" and "All That I Need") and four album tracks ("Out of My League", "Like No Other", " Prodigal Son" and "Twisted Tenderness"). It was compiled by Craig DeGraff and Electronic. New liner notes written by the band are also included.
A limited edition of the album includes a bonus DVD of all the band's music videos, except for " Late at Night" and the European version of " Getting Away with It" (the American film is featured).
All tracks written by Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr, except where noted.
