WOW! ANOTHER Numan live recording!? what are the chances of that happening!?

from that interview:

GN: “I’ve got heavy pressure to do ‘Pleasure Principle’ next year because Beggars are releasing the album again.”

Didn't he say 'no more retro shows'? Mind you, didn't he retire from live performance in '81!

Poor old Gazza (Numan)his soul is so tortured by this whole live / nostalgi athing, as transpires form the interview. He's in two minds about it, or at least the record company make sure he's in two minds about it LOL.

quote:
Will you do a tour for that (PP)album?

GN: “No. That ‘Replicas’ tour done me. That was my nostalgia done. Mind you, I can’t say no forever.”

Oh, surprise! Gary's new webshop is in fact Townsend Records!

Hopefully they will be faster than the previous Numan shop - which, whilst the idea of Gary's parents packaging and shipping off your parcel, you did have to wait weeks!

Yeah, for some reason he really hated the Replicas tour. Personally I'm more looking forward to the upcoming new material, so maybe it's a good thing he might leave it a few more years until another 'retro' tour.

I hate the word retro.
