{"product_id":"gary-numan-telekon-45th-anniversary-2lp","title":"Gary Numan - Telekon: 45th Anniversary Edition [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGary Numan’s second studio album \u003cem\u003eTELEKON \u003c\/em\u003ewas 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 \u003cem\u003eReplicas\u003c\/em\u003e and his debut solo album\u003cem\u003e The Pleasure Principle\u003c\/em\u003e, as the “machine” phase of his career. While it was hard to follow up the previous releases, \u003cem\u003eTelekon\u003c\/em\u003e proved to be hugely influential. Unlike its predecessors, \u003cem\u003eTelekon\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarlier this year, a visit to Gary’s archive allowed for a deep dig, and amongst all the treasures, unreleased \u003cem\u003eTelekon\u003c\/em\u003e material was found. We are thrilled to include four unreleased tracks on this expanded edition of \u003cem\u003eTelekon\u003c\/em\u003e. “Like A B-Film” is a completely unreleased, not quite finished track from the album’s sessions. The other three tracks are previously unreleased early versions of “Please Push No More”, “Aircrash Bureau” and “I’m An Agent”. Pressed onto double rainbow sparkle black vinyl, the album has been remastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road and includes revised artwork by Michael Speed at Beggars, who has frequently collaborated with Gary on his Beggars reissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A:\u003cbr\u003eThis Wreckage\u003cbr\u003eThe Aircrash Bureau\u003cbr\u003eTelekon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B:\u003cbr\u003eRemind Me to Smile\u003cbr\u003eSleep by Windows\u003cbr\u003eI'm an Agent\u003cbr\u003eI Dream of Wires\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide C:\u003cbr\u003eRemember I Was Vapour\u003cbr\u003ePlease Push No More\u003cbr\u003eThe Joy Circuit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide D:\u003cbr\u003eLike a B-Film (Unreleased Track)\u003cbr\u003ePlease Push No More (Early Version)\u003cbr\u003eThe Aircrash Bureau (Early Version)\u003cbr\u003eI'm an Agent (Early Version)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47239484801198,"sku":"607618270438","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/607618270438.jpg?v=1765305791","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/gary-numan-telekon-45th-anniversary-2lp","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
