Appearing on the Leo Sayer show was regarded as more or less rock bottom, totally lacking in street cred, but they treated Gary as back up with the gods. A clip from Moby, who says that anyone into electronic music has to be a Gary Numan fan. He appeared with the label "Moby: Gary Numan fan" under his face. Later there were two shots of Gary with people who were obviously too well-known to name. I suspect they were Marilyn Manson and Moby again, but someone who knows better can put me right. Or was it Billy Corgan? or Courtney Love? Stevie Wonder, maybe. Anyway, the shots were clearly there to demonstrate his current street cred. And the PURE clip, chills went up my spine in those few seconds. There must have been thousands of music-lovers round Britain thinking, "My God, is that Gary Numan? With a guitar? Looking Gothic?" In my book, can't be bad........

Read on below and findout... PURE AND SIMPLE (Hear'Say) When is a debut single not a debut single? This is the debate that has raged all week over the widely reported claims that last week Hear'Say became the first act ever to top the singles and albums charts simultaneously with their debut releases. Over the last seven days many people have pointed out that The Monkees, Tubeway Army and Hanson can also claim the same. It all depends on how you define "debut" of course. Taking them in order, The Monkees did indeed hit the top with their first hit I'm A Believer in January 1967 during which time their album The Monkees also ascended to the top. Crucially though this was not their first ever single release, that honour fell to Last Train To Clarksville which had been released in late 1966 but never charted, the single eventually appearing alongside I'm A Believer in the singles chart in early 1967. So they don't count. Neither do Tubeway Army (aka Gary Numan) who did indeed top both charts simultaneously with Are 'Friends' Electric and Replicas in June 1979. This time it was the album that let them down. Replicas was actually the second Tubeway Army long player, the first was Tubeway Army which came out in 1978 and subsequently charted for the first time in August 1979. Finally Hanson who on 21 June 1997 were comfortably at Number One on the singles chart with MMMBop and at the top of the albums listing with Middle Of Nowhere. Here you have to split hairs as although both these records were their debut UK releases the brothers had already recorded two independent albums which gained US only releases in 1995 and 1996. Unlike Hear'Say their chart-topping releases weren't technically "debuts". -------------------------------------- Trivial? - interesting? Of course we all know that AFE wasn't TA's first single either! Cheers all.

Joey et al, thanks for the last couple of years. I've enjoyed the digest mostly, but, I guess there's a bit too much anti-climax around Gary at the moment for me. So much potential with Pure, great record, one of the finest, but, what have we got a few month's later but a re-release to boost sales and no single, video or anything. I'm not sure what I expected, but, I think it's where the mindless trivial nonsense digest material has come from. Everyone's just bickering about all things non-Numan.....shame..... Anyhow, for my US buddies...enjoy the shows!! I'll still be around buying the CD's and managing my own expectations.
