I'm looking for some info on Mark Burton. He was big big Numan fan in the 80's, and came from Sheffield, England. He was friends with another Numan fan called John Hickman, and was quite well known in Numan circles at the time. He then disappeared from the scene, and the last I heard he had a model aircraft shop in Sheffield, which soon closed "due to ill health". I would really love to find him if he's still around..... does anyone remember him, or know what happened to him??? Any info appreciated. Thanks, Tim. ________________________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by the Star Screening System http://www.star.net.uk/stats.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 09:38:53 EST From: DCGaySLP@aol.com Subject: Netsounds/GEMM sites & shtuff To: digest@garynumanfan.nu I concur with Benjamin about the Netsounds (www.netsounds.com) & GEMM sites (www.gemm.com) for being a good resource for Numanstuff, especially for the hard-core collectors, and not JUST for Numanstuff....I recently was able to locate an old Sherbs LP finally on CD because of gemm.com..... Benjamin also wrote: << Should the new comp be retitled 'New Dreams For Olds...mobile'? >> LOL! At the rate things are going, why not? I'm lately finding I can't go nearly a single day without hearing "Cars" in some way, shape or form on the radio, TV, some DJ mix, some video or whatever....I'm sort of LIKING this! Our musical hero FINALLY gets some recognition....gee...and it only took 23 frikkin' years.

I've been trying to find The Album version of Noise Noise with no luck does anyone know where I can find it? or maybe an mp3 of the album version? I even heard there was a 1999 studio version floating around.. oh well, Thanks in advance, Nicholas P. S please reply to Kalivale@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2000 10:55:20 -0800 (PST) From: PolareBear Subject: North American Gary Numan Fan Club To: digest@garynumanfan.nu Hello Numanoids Of The World! Jim "The Machman" Napier here! Sorry about the reposting last digest, my el cheapo free webmail acting up. Hope all is forgiven! Phil Marsh comments the early days of this digest were overrun with negative comments about the NAGNFC. This was very interesting as well as disturbing to me, so I did a search for the word "NAGNFC" on the old digests. To my relief, I found NOTHING negative. In fact, the earliest issues of the Digest were full of exclusive news from the paper fanzine relayed by NAGNFC member Brian Hammond to share with fellow Digesters. Why couldn't Phil Marsh contribute news? Perhaps because NuWorld and AFE hadn't been invented yet? The NAGNFC was one of the biggest contributors of substantial news to the digest. Please see links to those old Digests below. Apparently I am made out to be a scam artist. I am now helping a fellow Numanoid get the word out on his covers CD on my website. He continually offers a piece of the action, but I've told him more than once I had no intention for him to send me any money. Scam artist indeed. I am going to have to side with Gary Numan on his insignificant whigner stance on this one I'm afraid. In fact, when Phil Marsh starts totally financing national Numan discos without recouping a penny, and when he has given away several Numan items in contests montly for 11 years, can he call me a scam artist. And then ONLY after he has constructed, copied, coalated, stapled, packaged and shipped over 100 paper fanzines for 55 months while charging a subscription cheaper than any other monthly fanzine. But alas Phil, it is far too easy to be an armchair critic than it is to be a doer in this world, eh? Phil Marsh's letter inadventently proves that. The NAGNFC isn't quite McDonald's with over 100 billion served. However, we can boast of several hundred satisfied customers. To offset all this negativity, read a sampling of e-mails worshipping the NAGNFC that I receive almost daily below. Now that Phil Marsh has been made to look a stupid hot dog brain, I invite well constructed comments by him to the contrary. I expect you will cite your sources this time with hyperlinks as I have had to courtesy to do below. Otherwise, Phil Marsh embarrasses himself far more than me by callous comments made without an inkling of fact, and proves himself in desperate need of a proper hobby.

First of all, I apologize for making a big mistake. I thought you were on the south pole, instead of the north! Stupid, stupid, stupid. I would also like to thank you very much for doing all the things you've done. I mean, things like organizing the NAGNFC and all the other activities coming along with it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! You know, we dutch Numan fans were, in a way, so goddamn isolated from every kind of Numan news. This has been very tough! But, thanks to the computer and the internet, this has now all changed. I'm not ashamed to say I'm getting a bit emotional now. I've been a Gary Numan fan for about twenty years. Personnally, I like the Replicas album the most, and I think that up til now I've never heard anything quite like it. It's hard to describe, but I when I can feel an awful lot listening to it. Perhaps I don't need to describe it. You just have to feel it. So! I finally send you a message that's a bit longer! Hope you're doing fine, and would like you to have my e-mail address: berendthegreat@hotmail.com Until next time! Berend. Next comes some friendly words from NAGNFC fanatic Anthony Petkoff: thanks for offering such great merchandise, i'll let you know when i have the exile tour video copied and send one to you, i'm especially looking froward to the l.a. forum teletour tape, that was the first numan concert i'd ever attended. thanks Anthony Petkoff _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freeworld.excite.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2000 10:53:49 -0800 (PST) From: PolareBear Subject: North American Gary Numan Fan Club To: digest@garynumanfan.nu Hello Numanoids Of The World!

We have been hovering around #20 and they've been just behind for about 3 weeks now. The song was recorded initially in 1983 by AMA. A band that both I and fellow numan list member Simon Bone were members of. There is also a newer version recorded in 1999. The 83 version is the one that's rocking the charts. We were certainly Numan influenced, but not Numan mimickers. Anyway, check out our repertoire. Let us know what you think. http://www.mp3.com/ama More soon, Jim Benson ---------- Real Time Culture www.ourfounder.com ------------------------------ End of Gary Numan Digest ****************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------- T H E G A R Y N U M A N D I G E S T is produced and distributed by Derek Langsford, Dave Datta, and Joey Lindstrom dlangs@sunstroke.sdsu.edu, datta@cs.uwp.edu, Joey@GaryNumanFan.NU ------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the messages in this list, email: digest@GaryNumanFan.NU If you want to be removed, or someone wants to be added, email: digest-request@GaryNumanFan.NU ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Gary Numan Digest is brought to you via Joey Lindstrom and the GaryNUmanFan server Joey@GaryNumanFan.NU All of the opinions in this digest belong to the respective authors and do not necessarily agree with those of the Digest Producers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produced and distributed by Derek Langsford dlangs@sunstroke.sdsu.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to the messages in this list, mail to: digest@garynumanfan.nu If you want to be removed, or someone wants to be added, you can mail to digest-request@garynumanfan.nu --------------------------------------------------------------------------
