Although I live but 15 miles from Mexico i can't imagine he's in Tijuana when Mexico offers the likes of Acapulco, Mazatlan, Cancun and Cozumel. It was a year ago this week he was in California wrapping up his North American Pure Tour! The 'Exposure' compilation album, sub titled 'The Best Of Gary Numan 1977-2002' will be released in the UK on May 20th. The track listing is as follows: Disc 1 Films I Die:You Die Are 'Friends' Electric? Pure Dead Heaven Down In The Park Me, I Disconnect From You Metal She's Got Claws Magic We Are Glass Music For Chameleons (12" Not released on CD before) My Shadow In Vain (2002 version) Everyday I Die (2002 version) Disc 2 My Jesus Cars Dominion Day Complex We Are So Fragile Rip M.E. We Take Mystery Dark Remember, I Was Vapour Listen To My Voice Deadliner Exposure (2002 instrumental) Voix A Prayer For The Unborn (Grayed Out Remix) Would be surprised if this fills both discs. Not sure what to say about the track selection. Nice to get the 12" of Chameleons on CD for the first time - but sticking on a 12" mix may be out of place here. Hope Vapour is a remastered version of the original mix (that would leave only Joy Circuit to go). Deadliner seems an odd choice from Sacrifice - would have picked Seed of a Lie or Bleed. Note no tracks that Receiver/Tojan/Rialto have been putting out ad nauseam. Means there are huge gaps but perhaps its a good move to be totally different to what has come before. Will get it for the new bits, of course,and it may actually make be a decent listen. Any thoughts?

Bohemian Rhapsody named Britain's favourite (but look at #76) Rock band Queen's enduring and record-breaking hit Bohemian Rhapsody was named the nation's favourite single of all time. The song, to which legions of young rock fans have played along on air guitars, beat John Lennon's Imagine to claim the top slot in a poll organised by the Guinness World Records British Hit Singles book. Guitarist Brian May - who was joined today by drummer Roger Taylor to pick up an award for the feat - said: "It has become a classic phenomenon and one which no one will ever allow us to forget." Bohemian Rhapsody, a six-minute epic which was aided in its appeal by a primitive video, first topped the charts in 1975. It did so again in 1991 when a fund-raising version was released following the death of the band's singer Freddie Mercury. More than 31,000 people voted in the poll of readers of the reference book. The 15th edition, containing the poll, is published on May 24. Half the top 10 are by Lennon and The Beatles, whose high entries are Hey Jude, Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever, Yesterday and Let It Be. Yesterday was not actually a UK single during the lifetime of the group and was not released until 1976. Indeed, only one of the band's 17 number ones is in the top 10 - Hey Jude. The most recent single in the top 10 is Robbie Williams' Angels - a hit four years ago that made it to only number four. The Spice Girls' first hit, Wannabe, is in the upper reaches of the chart, with the group's 2 Become 1 at 78 and the group's final release, Holler, at 82. Indeed The Beatles manage seven of the top 100. Hits from last year including Can't Get You Out Of Me Head by Kylie Minogue And Whole Again by Atomic Kitten figure at 63 and 68 respectively. Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was the first single to go to number twice in the same version - followed earlier this year by George Harrison's My Sweet Lord. It is also the only song to have hit the number one twice for Christmas and because it straddled the new year period, has been at number one in four different years. The song has spent a total of 14 weeks at the top of the charts. Because of its hugely complex call and response harmonies it was so difficult to reproduce that the band were unable to perform it live. However it has been included in the group's new musical We Will Rock You, which premieres next week. May and Taylor were presented with an award by British Hit Singles book editor David Roberts at London's Dominion Theatre where rehearsals are under way for the show. May said: "The song was apparently so far ahead of any rival that even months before the deadline, its position in this new poll was unimpeachable. Thank you, people, for the memory." Roberts said: "Queen is a band whose achievements are legendary. No band, apart from The Beatles, has had more top 10 hit singles. "It really was miles ahead of the opposition but it is interesting looking down the list where there is a good mixture of old and new - unlike many polls which seem to have an imbalance of hits from the last two years. Our readers voted across all six decades of the singles chart, making it the most definitive top 100 ever." The full list of 100 is as follows: 1. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - Queen. 2.

This is a very positive thing to read. He sure seems to feel good and I am sure that he wants to taste some more of that success, maybe now more than ever since he has a different persepective on it. I would think that the new /older single release would be tied in with an all new release, but at least it is being released. Maybe the liner notes will mention both Pure and the new comp.
