Gary Numan Telekon Expanded Edition Sparkle
Vinyl LP 2025 Edition
Gary Numan’s second studio album TELEKON was
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
Replicas and his debut solo album The Pleasure
Principle, as the “machine” phase of his career.
While it was hard to follow up the previous releases,
Telekon proved to be hugely influential. Unlike its
predecessors, Telekon 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.
Earlier this year, a visit to Gary’s archive allowed for
a deep dig, and amongst all the treasures,
unreleased Telekon material was found. We are
thrilled to include four unreleased tracks on this
expanded edition of Telekon. “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. It
also includes a replica of the original 1980 12-page
Telekon tour booklet.
“Telekon has always held a rather warm place for
me whenever I look back at the early years. I was
very proud of it. I thought the production had moved
up a gear for one thing. I was also proud of the fact
that I’d not gone the commercial route and tried to
repeat the formula and sound of “Cars” and “Are
‘Friends’ Electric?” I was still trying to move
forward, find new sounds. It was a reasonably bold
stance I think, to not follow a safer, more formulaic
path, as I suddenly had a lot to lose after the
success of the year before.” – Gary Numan
