Two CD 2008 set commemorates Gary Numan"s 30th year in music as well as his 50th birthday. The pioneering Electronic album Replicas are re-issued as Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - Replicas Redux. The CD includes the single "Are "Friends" Electric?", which gave Numan his first simultaneous Number 1 single and album when Replicas joined it at the top of the charts a few weeks later. "Are Friends" Electric?" originally a picture disc and Beggars Banquet promises a very limited edition picture disc of the track plus "Down In The Park" as the flipside as recognition that both songs have remained influential for three decades. The re-issue features for the first time a complete earlier version of the Replicas album recorded in late 1978, along with the original B-sides and further out-takes, adding up to 27 tracks across the two CDs.
