Gary Numan – A People’s History
Gary Numan – A People’s History is the story of one of the true pioneers of electronic music as told by over 500 fans. With three No 1 UK albums and the chart-topping singles ‘Are ‘Friends’ Electric?’ (with Tubeway Army) and ‘Cars’ (as a solo artist), Gary Numan was one of the biggest pop stars of the early 1980s, bringing the sound of synthesisers to the fore, and is rightly celebrated as a music legend, with a legion of devoted fans. 'Cars' also topped the Canadian charts and reached #9 on the Billboard 100.
Fully authorised by Gary, this 496-page hardback book charts his career from its very beginnings through to the present day with stories from fans, friends and colleagues. Packed with memories and over 250 photographs, and with a foreword by Andy McCluskey of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, this is a book that no Numanoid will want to be without.
