Great Gary, deffo worth a listen.

Byjulie scholeson 9 April 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

You can tell this is early Gary not as polished as his later work but you have to remember Gary wrote most of the songs on it when he was 16 or 17, loved 'bombers' 'thats too bad' 'my shadow in vain' and 'crime of passion' in particular, buy and enjoy some very early Mr. Numan.

Look Ma! No Synthesizers

ByPinkon 24 February 2012

Format: Audio CD

When The Plan was first released in 1984, Gary Numan was still making great records, but by then his music had wandered far from the original guitar-driven punk/metal sound of Tubeway Army, so this collection of early demos, singles and outtakes was an absolute treasure trove for fans of his oldest material.

The current studio album at the time was `Warriors', a slick jazz-funk affair that had alienated some of the faithful, so at that point `The Plan' was a very exciting prospect. Not only were there early versions of well-known and loved tracks like `Friends', `Steel And You', `My Shadow In Vain', `Bombers' and `Something's In The House', there was also a number of songs I was aware of but had never actually heard, such as `Critics' and `Ice'.

But by far the most exciting thing was that there were several songs that I never even knew existed; `Basic J', `This Is My Life', `Check It', `Thoughts No.2' and the fantastic `Mean Street' were all brand-new to me and I loved them beyond measure.

There's barely any synths on `The Plan' and the bulk of the material is delivered with a fat Les- Paul-through-a-Marshall chug that to my ears makes the rockier songs feel closer to metal than punk.

I think the original release had about 12 tracks on it, but this CD reissue is expanded to include all sorts of extras, including singles and b-sides from the era. It even has `Don't be A Dummy' from the Lee Cooper jeans advert that Gary sang on tacked on to the end for utter completeness. Bloody marvellous, I say.

So if you like the first Tubeway Army album, you're going to love `the Plan' and it is an essential purchase. If you've never heard the early stuff, you're going to love `the Plan' and it is an essential purchase. And if you're just trying Numan out, then you're going to love `the Plan' and it is an essential purchase.

Over to you.

Good punk

Bymark gartonon 9 May 2017

Format: Audio CD

People don't realise that he did some great punk I still got the bombers that's too bad single with the great Sci fi artwork the plan is basic punk with some moog synth steel and you ice check it all good stuff his punk influence is what made his synth music so much better than some robotic synth groups they were good as well but numan like the great john foxx was ahead of His time

Stunning demos and outtakes from Tubeway Army

ByKevin Parrish Claussenon 10 December 2001

Format: Audio CD

When I finally got my hands on a copy of this it did exactly what I had hoped. It blew my socks right off. This is a collection of early demos for the first Tubeway Army album, as well as some other early bonus material.
I think Numan has realized that his earliest efforts are being adored by a slew of young hipsters. At least in the states this is true. This album rocks as good as any album could. It is very undervalued and ignored by the rock and punk canon, which is a shame.
"Basic J" has the crunchiest guitar around and will bust your rear into next week. The slower version of "Steel and you" on here rivals the one on the debut Tubeway Army album.
Check out the samples and then get this album. Tubeway Army really do rule.

The Plan

ByP. Longon 26 June 2009

Format: Audio CD

I first had this set of songs when they were first released on records in coloured vinyl. The songs have a rougher edge to them than Tubeway Army's self titled first album, and have stood the test of time better as the quirky synthesisers are kept out of the picture more. They are in keeping with Gary Numan's current songs, though in a punkier style, if you imagine stripping down his current songs you can see a structural similarity to what is on this CD. I highly recommend this CD to fans who are curious to hear how it all began.

Quality Debut Album at last realized1

ByStrawbon 16 January 2011

Format: Audio CD

This is a Brilliant album. It may be Garys "Punk Demos", all together on one disc, but it's put together with thought, and comes across as a Proper Album on it's own merits. And now one of my essentials for the car
The track listing is spot on. The songs are Strong. and The Production... Gary should have had a side line in Production because his Bass is so full and tight. The Drums are So Crisp and Punchy and again, tight. Guitars range from AC/DC to Hunky Dory and are powerfull and emotive throughout. Plus we get some lovely old Analogue Synth here and there.
Best New NUMAN album in years and a Top Favourite of mine. You even get the Lee Cooper original advert at the end.
Problem with Gary at the time was he was Too Good. Too in control and Too ahead of all his competitors. and Too Successful!
That's why all the press hated him. Jealous coz he did it Without them.
His first 5 or 6 albums are all Superb testiments to Quality intelligent 80's Pop.
And the first 3 Big ones are ESSENTIAL.
Then he died his hair blue, got the funk, added Girls on backing vocals and we all went out Raving!
Now he's back in vogue and getting the recognition he deserves.
Let's hope he drops trying to outdo Marylin Manson (Who??) and stops being all moody and remembers THIS Album and gives us some Classic New Numan for 2011, like the Old Numan!
And can we have ANALOGUE Synths again please. I'm Sure you were using New Trendy Digital keyboards on the recent Retro tour.
And tell that young drummer he Doesn't have to show off how many drums he's got by putting clever little fills in where they are Not Appreciated! I'm sure he's a very good drummer but we came to hear Cedrics fills!
Bless
So, The PLAN by Gary Numan. A Great Lost album brought to Full Life on CD.
Gary does Punk! and does it rather well.
plus he looks Much prettier than Sting on the cover. Or Copey! and definately more than Mr Foxx!
BUY NOW, as they say!
