Are friends eclectic?

For some reason I was thinking about the debut Tubeway Army LP this morning... I had the original version with the blue cover (which at the time I hated but now I think it is a masterpiece!) After 'Are Friends Electric' and 'Relicas' became a huge success they reissued the debut LP with the seminal black and white cover. The LP was a disappointment after the punky rock of early singles of 'That's too bad' and 'Bombers' (later reissued as a double 7inch in gatefold sleeve) but that's maybe because Mr Numan was starting to investigate the electronic sounds that would pay dividend on the genius 'Replicas'...
