Put The Needle On The Record - Week Number 2

Put The Needle On The Record Week #2 (Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle)

I think we all have albums we haven't played in years and this feature, is a good idea, that hopefully, will encourage you to play the featured album we choose each week.

For this weeks feature we go back to 1979 and Gary Numan's album "The Pleasure Principle", the first proper LP I bought. The album reached number 1 in the UK Albums chart 1979 and featured the singles "Cars", which was a number 1 hit in the UK's Singles chart and "Complex", a curious choice as a single, the tracks "Metal" and "Films" would have been a better choice, that said "Complex" did make number 6 in the UK's Singles chart.
