ゲイリー・ニューマンが結成していたグループ、チューブウェイ・アーミーが1979年に発表した『Replicas（レプリカズ）』と、ゲイリー・ニューマンとしてのデビュー・アルバム『The Pleasure Principle（ザ・プレジャー・プリンシプル）』が40周年を迎え、『Replicas – The First Recordings』と『The Pleasure Principle – The First Recordings』というタイトルでリイシューされることになりました。

アルバム『Replicas』は、1978年末にロンドンのチャイナタウンで録音され、2本のステレオ・マスター・テープに11曲を収録しましたが、一か月後にグースベリー・スタジオで「Are ‘Friends’ Electric?」と「Replicas」を含む追加の3曲を収録し、同時にBBCの番組『ジョン・ピール・ショウ（John Peel Show）』のために録音したこの3曲の別ヴァージョンも収録。「Are ‘Friends’ Electric?」は、UKチャートで第1位を記録しています。
