Gary Numan – Telekon – Vinyl LP

Anniversary Edition

45th Anniversary Expanded Edition With 4 Unreleased Bonus Tracks Including Never Before Heard Song “Like A B-Film”. Gary Numan’s second studio album TEL­EKON was released in 1980 and was his third successive #1 album in the UK. Gary refers to this album, along with its two pre­decessors, Tubeway Army’s Replicas and his debut solo album The Pleasure Principle, as the “machine” phase of his career. While it was hard to follow up the previous releases, Telekon proved to be hugely influ­ential. Unlike its predecessors, Telekon had plenty of guitars, along with strings and lush synthesizer textures. Trent Reznor claimed to have listened to it every day during the making of Pretty Hate Machine. Earlier this year, a visit to Gary’s archive allowed for a deep dig, and amongst all the treasures, unreleased Telekon material was found. We are thrilled to include four unreleased tracks on this expanded edition of Telekon.
