Numan changed my life in 1979 when I first heard Cars. Was only 11 but even then was determined to spend every penny I had on buying everything he released. He was my absolute hero and these pods really encapsulate how exciting it was to walk in to WH Smiths and see the Complex or I Die:You Die 7”s in the section marked ‘New releases’.
