YES! I had a FAB time.
Gary Webb(Numan) is TRULY a VERY genuine, kind, and NON-pretentious soul.

Anyway, after the fabulous gig he put on 2 days ago in Phoenix, AZ( August 22nd) I met him, took a picture w/ him& talked with him while he signed 2 VERY rare original 1980 Telekon posters for me. Unfortunately we only talked for about 2-3 min. as there was a LOOONG line of peeps waiting for him to sign a myriad of goodies.

And as we were talking, he actually remembered me from his Exile tour in 1998, when I actually had the luxury of getting past security & hanging backstage with him at The Palace in Hollywood/LA in May of '98...we hung out and talked for about 45 min. or so( ironically we talked about Christianity for a while too) & it was VERY special to me~
b/c it was JUST Gary, me, his girlfriend/wife, manager & the other band members~
so it was REALLY intimate!

ANYWAY, AS FOR THE 2( VERY COOL) UN-RELEASED TRAX.....
I mentioned to him on Tuesday that I had a VERY rare cassette that I have had for about 15 yrs or so,(that I got from the old president of the North American Numan Fan Club) with one of his 1st gigs from 1977-78....BUT, the STRANGE thing was at the END of the gig, is tacked on 2 VERY "raw" sounding demo's, of pretty good quality too!!!

Anyway, Gary said he has about 80-100 trax from 1978-79 that he not only does NOT remember recording, but he said about 50% of them do/did NOT even have TITLES!
At first he was a bit angry...but NOT at me, he was angry that these 2 trax were leaked out in the 1st place, with OUT his permission!!!
Probably some bastard from Beggars Banquet stole them for personal use and they leaked out, you know?
Anyway, Gary DID let me keep them still(of course) BUT, he asked me to PLEASE send him a copy of the 2 trax so he can GET to the BOTTOM of this.

So I DO feel SUPER-SPECIAL, that I actually OWN Numan 2 trax that have NEVER been released EVER. One track is 3:16, the other is just about 3:00....
BUT, the STRANGE thing is, is that these 2 trax(especially the 1st one) are F#@KIN' STELLLAR!!! They sound along the lines of a cross between trax like "Everyday I Die", "My love is a Liquid", "Me! I disconnect from you" "Bombers" & "You are in my Vision"
And I am REALLY surprised that they were NOT improved upon & made into "official" trax!!
Maybe someday they will, as Beggars Banquet said in Numan's new discography book that they have a LOT of studio outakes, demo's & live trax that have NEVER seen the light & they are possibly planning on releasing them in the near future!
I HOPE SO!
If ANYONE is interested in trading these VERY RARE early trax for something of equal rarity please send me a private msg...
But you MUST promise NOT to sell/gain for profit, but to ONLY enjoy them for your OWN pleasure!
