Yup - at least I'm clear that I read details about it back when it was happening. I was moonlighting as a records store clerk in charge of ordering imports in the mid-late 70s/early 80s and I kept up on everything of that nature back then. I also had a friend who dated the Warners record rep who met Numan (traveling then with his mum and dad - they all had tea and cookies together after a Detroit show!)and talked with him about it. Let me dig a bit after finishing up some leftover student-interaction from last night (first class of the mew term) and I'll see if I can pry up something. It seems like I have found something of a confession by Foxx online somewhere. I believe Numan taught Foxx how to use a certain kind of synth. I know Billy Currie actually handled the synths in Ultravox! and he played in Numan's band after Foxx left.
Nice one Jeff, doesn't Billy appear in the Cars video? I don't remember seeing any credits for him tho and I have all the early TA/GN releases.
