Gary Numan: The Pleasure Principle Vinyl LP
"The Pleasure Principle is Gary Numan’s third studio album (and debut under his own name) and marked the point where he became a huge international solo star, reaching the Top 10 in the US with 'Cars' and Top 20 with the album itself. The Pleasure Principle pioneered electronic pop music on a new scale, becoming a much bigger hit worldwide than Kraftwerk or anything from the Bowie/Eno Berlin trilogy. And the fact that it was so different and had such a major impact in America (crystallized when Numan performed 'Cars' and 'Praying To The Aliens' in front of 40 million people on Saturday Night Live) meant that there was a direct link from The Pleasure Principle to the new musical forms that were born in the USA over the next decade - namely hip hop, industrial and techno." - Beggars Banquet
- black vinyl pressing

- original release year: 1979
