referencing Tubeway Army, LP, FA 3060

Tubeway Army was originally released as a limited blue vinyl edition of 5000 copies on November 24th 1978. The black and white shadow face became the album cover when it was re-released, reaching number 14 in the album chart in the summer of 1979. This second LP sleeve was actually a sketch by Numan's old school friend Gary Robson, who had made a tracing of the singer's face from the sleeve for an earlier Tubeway Army single, Bombers.
Rated 5/5

This is a superb re-release of a great debut album from Tubeway Army. The album is a great string of synth punk anthems from start to finish, beginning with the classic Listen To The Sirens and ending on Zero Bars, what sounds like the very first ideas of Numan's Cars put down on tape.
Overall, a very underrated synth punk classic.
