God when you compare this CD and 'Warriors' where did Gary lose it?????? Raw and to the core like the following 4 CD'S... He really just got stuck in the banal after that... Pity cause i loved the guy... Still do but not for the same reasons.
Got this album back catalogue after listening to replicas. A worthy contribution with examples of numans developing style. The raw sound and lyrical content were the obvious springboard to more acomplished work - still good effin tunes though
My Blue album should have had a blue vinyl inside but the stupid girl at the counter all those years ago dint know and put the wrong one in hense I got the black vinyl.. I wasnt aware of the fact it should have been blue either... BIATCH....
@wakkiJ Could have been the Dutch import which had the blue album cover but black vinyl with a blue Beggars Banquet centre bit label instead of red.............
@GNeuman it shouldn't have been an import I bought it from fox's records back in 1982 , more likely the assistant didnt put the right vinyl inside. Not particularly bothered tho lol.. I woluld never sell any of my numan stuff, part of my teenagehood. ;0)
@GNeuman forgot to add, at the time they had both album covers. The white original and the blue.. If only I had realised back then and checked it had a blue vinyl in it. Not that I would have been any the wiser anyway as i wouldnt have known it should have had. I picked the blue coz i liked the cover better.. How inocent i was and nieve lol.

@wakkiJ That is shameful
That was the era of collecting coloured viyl picture discs and rare records
I had the Blue vinyl and the Police picture disc badge, Stranglers Raven 3d etc
Nothin like that now with CDs
Sorry bout that stupid girl

this was the first LP i bought when it came out.
this was the first stuff i used to learn to play along with on the guitar!!
used to go the beggars banquet shop in west london( if i remember right) to buy all his stuff when it came out.
still have it and all the later numan stuff up to i assasin, when i changed styles...
superb stuff, especially this early heavier stuff.
my original well played LP bega 4, has the nice studio shot on the back with just the 3 of them.
bloody good LP.
