Beggars Arkive released special titles to commemorate the legendary albums Gary Numan/Tubeway Army issued in 1979 – The First Recordings. Replicas is pressed on sage green. While both of the original albums have remained in print, these releases concentrate on the early recordings made prior to the completed albums and present the evolution of the albums. The tracks have been sequenced as they appeared on the original tapes and the audio has been taken from the high resolution digital transfers made by John Dent in 2007.
