Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Quiet City website updates...

Lol sorry to be an anorak Alex, Endlessly was also a double pack

My copy of the single is a UK issue. Looks like the one on this page , but slightly less beat up. Strangely enough, the one-disc version and the two-disc version have the same catalogue number, VS 338.

Yeah I remember, though where i was living at the time, the single disc version was rarer than the double pack.

Wouldn't the "My Face Flexi" qualify as a single release too?
Maybe I'm being too pedantic?

Details of the John Foxx gatefold album can also be found here . And all of the versions of No-One Driving that I'm aware of are detailed here .

Good to see it on the official site. Was there any awareness among UK fans at the time that the record existed? I remember in the past seeing comments about how rare and unknown "My Face" was, when it was on the LP over here.

Yeah, I really ought to start fleshing out the Discography section with all of the stuff I have scanned in. Aside from all of the recent releases, I have at least another forty-odd items to add in. Still, it's not a bad start...

The first I knew about it was when I saw (and immediately bought) a copy of it from a record store in Washington DC back in 1984. I certainly hadn't seen it in the UK. So, as far as I was concerned, it was a real rarity.

Not at all - it was on the old version of the site - I just don't have a bigger version, as I 'borrowed' that one from ebay but it was tiny.

Ah, I knew I should have hesitated before adding the singles!

Then again, the single pages for Metamatic and The Garden do say "A selection of..."

yea I saw it in HMV, in Glasgow, didn't buy it though as it was too expensive at the time.

Done some more work on the site.

Slightly smaller body font, with much better spacing and a tone darker in colour, since a few people I've shown it to thought white on black (actually it was light grey!) was difficult to read and often 'left an imprint'.

Hopefully it's not too dark now!

My only problem at the moment is the thick fonts I've used for the intro paragraphs, don't always seem to display too well, despite being Arial black.

But I think it looks better than it did, in terms of legibility.
