Pleasue Principle 30th anniversary release

[martymoog]

We're proud to announce you can now pre-order the classic, influential album, The Pleasure Principle, which is being re-released as a double CD edition (featuring demos and B-sides on the bonus disc) 30 years after it debuted at Number 1 in the UK charts. In addition to this, exclusive to NuWorld is a bonus ltd edition live album, Gary Numan: 1979 - The Live EPs, which features never-heard-before mixes taken from the original analogue tapes for two Live EPs in 1979 and 1980 - neither of which were ever released. The album also features Gary's original mixes for the vinyl edition of Living Ornaments 1979. This live album will only be available through NuWorld as part of a multi-buy package with The Pleasure Principle. When you pre-order these albums you will also receive a free audio download of 'Conversation' (Demo Version 1), one of the demo tracks from the new 30th anniversary edition of The Pleasure Principle.

Got mine ordered!

[Tokyohunter]

I've ordered this too.
When is it actually released?

Incidentally,the download is actually Conversation (demo version 2) even though they say it's going to be version 1. )

After this it's the "Redux" version of Telekon,....

I wonder when they will announce London shows for the Pleasure Principle Tour?

[mattjessup]

i have to wait till this thurs b4 i can order, longest 3 days ever, bloody well hope there's some left,

[Tokyohunter]

Mine arrived today.
Just had a quick listen.
The demos are quite interesting,
M.E. - vocals are completely different.
Trois Gymnopedies is nothing like the final version.It's just like one synth.
Films is quite differemt tooo....
It's amazing cause the final versions have a much more powerful sound (shaun- can you explain this?)

[martymoog]

Those demos are just rough early versions, unproduced, which when you compare with the final versions show how good a novice producer Numan tuned out to be!

I think they sound really odd without the polymoogs spread all over them, shows what a powerful instrument it was (is

[Tokyohunter]

Seems like the tickets are sold out for the tour other than rear sitting (O2 venue)
Anyone know of any other legitimate outlets for tickets other than the o2 website?
Was hoping hoping to get 1 standing ticket.

[Tokyohunter]

Opted for the rear sitting ticket as all the tickets are nearly gone less than 20 left yesterday. oh well hopefully the vibe will reach the back of the arena...
Really surprised there was no standing area tickets left...
It's the last night of the tour so that may be the reason plus the re-release of PP.
