Vinyl Odyssey: Tubeway Army: Replicas



Surprisingly good this- not heard it before, apart from "Are ‘Friends’ Electric" of course.  Much more guitars than expected, but then I remember seeing some doc where Mr. Numan says they only discovered synths when they got to the studio and you can tell- this is a guitar band with a lot of synths and not a full on electro band.

~ I Nearly Married A Human- the most synthy track on the LP

Here’s the eBay listing info:
“Beggars Banquet 1979
Bega 7
Matrices:
A - S-15 BEGA-7-A1 STRAWBERRY EG
B - S-14 BEGA-7-B1 EG- STRAWBERRY

Missing the poster and the inner sleeve with lyrics. Outer sleeve is in very good condition with only very slight creasing to the spine.
Record has been recently tested and is scratch free and only the occasional 'vinyl pop'. There are a couple of visible scuffs but these do not effect the audio.”
Now the listing is live I’m wondering how much of a problem not having the original lyric sheet sleeve and poster will be. If it doesn’t sell maybe I should try and find a duff copy of the album that has the proper sleeve?
