Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room 2008 Replicas reissues

Thanks Alex for your report on the Replicas tour and sharing the photo's.

I'm looking forward to seeing him at the O2 Arean on the 15th March.

I managed to place my order for the Replicas Redux CD before Nuworld deactivated the online shop only to be warned that it could take up to 30 days for my CD to arrive. I hope the wait is worth it.

Regards

Peter

I'm sure it will be. I've seen the 2-disc edition in the shops and the packaging looks nice. I'd like to see the 3-disc version.

It was designed that way to fit with the 'Replicas' theme.
Yes, theres been lots of favourable comments about those synth lead tracks in particular. No surprise even the bootlegs are sounding good. If there are any.

I got some great pics but my fave has Gary in silhouette
(Heck,numans MySpace site have even used it now )

That's a great photo! Would love to see any more.

It was?! Then on the ticket it should have said "Gary Numan (in shadow)"!!

As no one has mentioned the vinyl re-issues of 'Replicas' and 'The Pleasure Principle' yet I thought I'd mention them -

I had a look at them in HMV on Saturday: very professional, more so than the Italian'The Garden'vinyl re-issue a few years back. Nice card used for the sleeve, inner sleeve also reproduced too (not often you see that in vinyl re-issues)and the vinyl is nice and heavy (180gsm...I think). The edition no. is stamped haphazardly on the back.

Word of warning on the 'Art-Print' though: a complete waste of time. It's just an A5 size piece of very flimsy paper - not dissimilar to a flyer and is just a scan of the original poster that came with the original copy of Replicas back in '79. The Pleasure Principle 'art-print' is just a badly chopped scan of the 'Asylum' artwork on the back of the original 'Cars' 7".

If you feel the need to own these, fair enough - but if you have the originals, I wouldn't bother.
