Gary Numan – Telekon 45th Anniversary Expanded Edition – Color Vinyl Record

Description

Black Sparkle Rainbow Color Vinyl

Gary Numans second studio album, TELEKON, was released in 1980 and became his third consecutive #1 album in the UK, marking a significant milestone in his career. He describes this album, along with its two predecessorsTubeway Armys Replicas and his debut solo album, The Pleasure Principleas part of his “machine” phase. While it was challenging to follow up on his earlier successes, Telekon proved to be incredibly influential. Unlike its predecessors, this album features a rich blend of guitars, strings, and lush synthesizer textures. Trent Reznor has even mentioned that he listened to it every day while working on Pretty Hate Machine. Earlier this year, a visit to Garys archive revealed some exciting treasures, including unreleased material from Telekon. Were excited to share four of these previously unheard tracks in this special expanded edition. Among them is Like A B-Film, a track from the albums sessions that was not quite finished before. The other three are early versions of Please Push No More, Aircrash Bureau, and Im An Agent, which are also unreleased. The album has been pressed onto beautiful double rainbow sparkle black vinyl, digitally remastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road, with new artwork by Michael Speed at Beggarswho has often collaborated with Gary on his reissues. Plus, the vinyl edition includes a reproduction of the original 1980 12-page Telekon tour booklet.
