Souvenir proved to be OMD's biggest hit to date, reaching No. 3 in the UK charts. It also managed to reach No. 1 in France, Spain and Portugal.
The sleeve is unusual in that the centre has been die-cut so the labels can been seen. The A Side features a picture of a Dusseldorf street cafe scene. The record details are subtly picked out in grey on the bottom of the sleeve. Some versions have standard Dindisc white label with black text.
A limited number of copies of The Human League single 'Love Action' were mispressed with Souvenir on the A Side.
Total duration for B-side is listed as 6:34
