Beggars Banquet

Cheap 5 CD set - Remastered in Clamshell Box. Drawing on Gary Numan's later tenure at Beggars Banquet, this set covers his albums recorded between 1981 and 1983. In 1981, Numan announced his retirement from live performance, playing three farewell concerts at Wembley Arena just prior to the release of 'Dance'. This show - presented here as 'Living Ornaments '81' Part 1 and Part 2 - offers a concise overview of Numan's meteoric career to date and includes versions of some of his best known songs. His retirement proved short-lived, but when he returned in 1982 with 'I, Assassin', some of his popularity had dissipated - perhaps because of the retirement announcement, perhaps because the charts were overflowing with synth pop, much of which was already expanding on Numan's early innovations. 'I, Assassin' was another Top Ten album, and 'We Take Mystery (To Bed)' another hit, but in general Numan's singles were starting to slip in the charts, and the title track of 1983's 'Warriors' became his last British Top Ten hit. 'Dance', 'I, Assassin' and 'Warriors' are re-mastered and feature bonus tracks.
