The Best of OMD is a compilation album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released in 1988. 　　 　　The record essentially delineates the group's experimental early years from their pop-oriented later work: side one features recordings from 1979–1984, while side two is drawn from the group's 1984–1988 efforts. It was a worldwide success, becoming a Top 5 hit across Europe and achieving 3x platinum sales in the United Kingdom.
