Only 300 copies of this promo single were issued. Same song on both sides.
Of his support of Tubeway Army, Peel once said: 'I must confess I do allow myself the occasional snigger when I consider that Tubeway Army are at number 2 in the charts because their records have been almost universally slagged off by the critics and we've always played them on these programmes. How smug we get on occasion'.
Vinyl: Excellent +; no crackle, plays through on both sides with no interference. Smooth. Light rubbing, no scratches. Sleeve: Excellent. With the name 'Gary Numan' in Peel's hand to top left of sleeve.
From the collection of legendary British radio presenter and journalist John Peel (1939-2004). Peel was instrumental in supporting bands and singers such as The Sex Pistols, Joy Division, Nirvana, The Damned, Queen, The Cure, The Clash, The Undertones, David Bowie, T. Rex others, helping bring them to the awareness of the listening public; his ‘Peel Sessions’ in particular providing a hugely important platform for emerging talent.
Will be well-packaged in a single mailer for protection. Provenance: from the collection of John Peel; proof of provenance will be supplied.
