Andy and Paul had originally written a song called Suspicion in July 1987. When Andy couldn't make it to the studio for a few days, Paul added some lyrics finishing the song off. Determined the song was a potential single, the pair wrote a B side.

However, after recording the B side (now called Dreaming), Andy and Paul thought it was actually better than Suspicion. Virgin Records agreed and Dreaming was used as the A side. Suspicion remains unreleased.

Dreaming proved to be a success in the USA which led to Virgin reissuing the single in the UK.

This release was issued in a bagged gatefold sleeve with stickered cover. The inner sleeve revealed an ad for The Best Of OMD album.

 

Dreaming was the last song the band wrote using the Fairlight CMI.
