A few weeks ahead of album Liberator, "Stand above Me" was released, the 26th single by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It was the last OMD single released on a 12" format. An "anonymous" club 12" was released as "Liberator: Stand above Me". This looked like it was credited to the act "Liberator". This record made it to #6 in the US dance charts.[1]
