Two CD 2008 set commemorates Gary Numan's 30th year in music  as well as his 50th birthday. The pioneering Electronic album Replicas are re-issued as Gary Numan & Tubeway Army - Replicas Redux. The CD includes the  single 'Are 'Friends' Electric?', which gave Numan his first simultaneous Number 1 single and album when Replicas joined it at the top of the charts a few weeks later. 'Are Friends' Electric?' originally a picture disc and Beggars Banquet  promises a very limited edition picture disc of the track plus 'Down In The Park' as the flipside as recognition that both songs have remained influential for three decades. The re-issue features for the first time a complete earlier version of the Replicas album recorded in late 1978, along with the original B-sides and further out-takes, adding up to 27 tracks across the two CDs.
