Shame - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

'Shame' was released as the third single from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's 1987 album 'The pacific age'. The band had suggested another track, 'Stay', as a possible single from the album, but label Virgin thought 'Shame' had more potential. The band relented, although feeling the album version was a bit slow, they re-recorded the track with producer Rhett Davies.

The single, released in May 1987, was not the big success that it was hoped to be, reaching only number 52 in the UK singles chart.
