My age: 16

My location: Bromyard/Hereford

Events
from my 1980 diary:
 * "Gary Numan Day". - see record purchases below and 'up in the early hours of the morning taping a 45 min. (Numan) interview'.
 * Went to a cèilidh at night at Whitbourne Hall.

Records
The LP, which also included a free two-track 7" live EP, had just been released, while the single was at no. 6 in the charts. This was my fourth Gary Numan single purchase, and second picture sleeve. The B side of the single is an excellent piano version of the Tubeway Army track 'Down in the Park'. I've often doubted as to whether this was actually played by Numan himself or by D. Haines who is credited with piano playing for the A side.
 * Bought Telekon LP and I Die: You Die 7" in Hereford.
