GARY NUMAN Shares Previously Unreleased Cool Track ‘B-FILM’
1 November 2025
Artwork anniversary edition
Electro-pop big shot GARY NUMAN (born Gary Anthony James Webb 67 years ago
in London) is one of those unwearying artists who keep on going, even after several
decades in showbiz.
He started his journey back in 1977 under the moniker of Tubeway Army.
After two TA albums he dropped the moniker and proceeded as Gary Numan.
Overall, he recorded/released 21 LPs, with Intruder as the most recent one.
It came out in 2021.
Artwork original LP
His 2nd solo longplayer Telekon turned 45 last September. Enter a deluxe anniversary edition. Over the next couple of months his record label Beggars Banquet will release three different editions: a sustainably pressed vinyl, a double-LP deluxe expanded edition, and
a standard double-LP edition.

Numan: “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.”
All Numaoid fans will be happy to find out that
the anniversary edition will feature 4 previously
unreleased tracks.
One of them is B-Film. Previously unreleased songs are mostly leftovers, not good
enough to make the original album. But, this one is quite good. Vintage Numanesqye.
