Beggars Arkive has unveiled a long-awaited collection of Gary Numan’s hit singles in a brand-new box set, The Singles Collection 1978-1983.
The 15 singles and accompanying B-sides span the electronic pioneer’s work from 1978 through 1983, exclusively on translucent vinyl in red, blue, and green. Each set comes complete with a white vinyl DJ case as well as a 64-page tri-color booklet featuring “front and back sleeve images, notes, recording and original release information for each single plus and archival images,” according to a release.
Numan’s box set will be available November 5th via both the Beggars Arkive webstore and the artist’s website, with only 2000 limited-edition copies made worldwide. Check out the collection’s special packaging and complete tracklist after the jump.
Last month, Numan announced his upcoming North American tour, which kicks off this September at The Fonda in L.A. The trek across the US and Canada will be in support of his latest album Intruder, which contains singles “Intruder,” “I Am Screaming,” and “Saints and Liars.”
