Album Notes REPLICAS contains six bonus tracks, which include outtakes and UK single B- sides. Personnel: Gary Numan (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Paul Gardiner (bass); Jess Lidyard (drums). Recorded at Gooseberry Studios, London, England from December 1978-January 1979. Includes liner notes by Steve Malins. Issued in 2008, this expanded edition of Gary Numan's groundbreaking 1979 synth-pop album, REPLICAS, presents an entire bonus disc of alternate takes and rarities, essentially revealing an early version of the classic Bowie-gone-robotic record. In addition to punchier renditions of "Me! I Disconnect from You" and "Are `Friends' Electric?" the second CD also includes excellent non-album tracks, most notably the coldly funky "Only a Downstat."
Editorial Reviews 9 (out of 10) - ...1979's REPLICAS, put the synths center stage, freezing Kraftwerk's liquid opulence into stark cubist blocks... Spin (09/01/1998)
