Gary Numan Deluxe 4LP Boset Instores August 17
Reissue imprint Vinyl 180 is prepping an ultra-limited four-record box set that collects remastered editions of the first three albums by Gary Numan and Tubeway Army — as well as an LP stocked with era-specific demos and rarities called The Plan — on high-quality, 180-gram vinyl.
Entitled 78/79 Box Set and limited to 500 copies globally, the new collection is available August 17th. It features 1978’s Tubeway Army on blue vinyl to mimic its original run, 1979’s Replicas (which was later credited to Numan and Tubeway Army) and The Pleasure Principle, also released in 1979, and credited solely to Numan.
The set is accompanied by The Plan, a 15-track LP featuring demos and rarities from the 1978-79 era, although it has a different tracklist and cover art than either the 1984 compilation of the same name, or its 1999 expanded CD reissue.
The new box set comes in advance of The Pleasure Principle (North American) Tour 2010 during which he’ll play the landmark album in its entirety.
There will be one Canadian show Oct. 24th at The Opera House in Toronto.
