"Telegram" is a remix album by Icelandic singer-songwriter/musician Björk. It's a collection of remixes of several tracks from her album Post which had all previously appeared as B-sides of the UK versions of the singles off "Post", including the non-album track, "My Spine". The cover was shot by Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. All of the songs on "Post" were remixed, excluding "The Modern Things" and "It's Oh So Quiet". The collection also included one new song entitled "My Spine" which was originally slated to appear on "Post" but pushed out by "Enjoy", becoming the B-side to the UK It's Oh So Quiet single instead. The album has sold 228,000 copies in U.S. according to SoundScan.
