Description:

2 LP In late 1978, Gary Numan was booked into a small studio in Londons Chinatown with the same musicians that had played on Tubeway Armys debut album, released a month earlier. Two stereo master tapes were compiled of eleven tracks. A month later they again went to Gooseberry Studio and recorded an additional three tracks, including Are Friends Electric? and Replicas. At the same time, the band recorded a session for the BBCs John Peel show, taping alternate versions of three songs from the December recordings. Finally Numan returned to an upgraded studio, Marthus Music, in February to overdub and remix the Gooseberry recordings into their released versions. Only one alternative out take still exists (Down In The Park) which is included in this release.
