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.

Track listing

Airlane
Metal
Complex
Films
M.E.
Tracks
Observer
Conversation
Cars
Engineers

So if you have the album in your collection and have n't played it in a while, dig it out and give it a spin!

A New Blog Feature - Put The Needle On The Record

We have a new Weekly blog feature for you, in which we highlight a classic album in the White Lion Radio vault, the feature is called "Put The Needle On The Record Week".

Put The Needle On The Record - Week #1

I think we all have albums we have n'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.

To start things off we have "The Man Machine" by Kraftwerk, the first Kraftwerk LP I bought, released in 1978 (I bought the album in 1979 after hearing "Neon Lights" played on BBC Radio 1), the album features 6 tracks, including the singles "The Robots" which failed to make the UK Singles chart, "Neon Lights", which peaked at number 53 in the UK charts and of course "The Model", which was a hit in 1981 after it appeared on the Kraftwerk single "Computer Love" as a B side, DJ's started playing "The Model" and as such it was released as a single in its own right and reached number 1 in the UK singles chart.

The album peaked at number 9 in the UK Album Charts in 1982, some 4 years after its initial release.

Track listing

The Robots
Spacelab
Metropolis
The Model
Neon Lights
The Man Machine

So if you have the album in your collection and have n't played it in a while, dig it out and give it a spin!
