Gary Numan - Replicas: The First Recordings
2 LP In late 1978, Gary Numan was booked into a small studio in Londonâs Chinatown with the same musicians that had played on Tubeway Armyâs 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 âAre âFriendsâ Electric?â and âReplicasâ. At the same time, the band recorded a session for the BBCâs 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 (âDown In The Parkâ) which is included in this release. Â
