[edit] Tracklisting

Does the article really need to list original LP and reissue CD tracks separately when both issues have the same tracks in the same order? Seems completely unnescessary to me. You could have just one tracklisting and simply add something like "the casette version had 'Time to Die' as an extra track after 'New Thing From London Town' on the end of side 1". -- Kjet 12:05, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

It's a good question and I'm not really sure of the answer. My reasoning was because the CDs (both UK and US) have extra bonus tracks. If you think it would be better to change then I've no real objections -- JD554 14:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
I got impatient and already re-did the article before your reply. -- Kjet 15:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song writers

I know they're not official, but both Discogs.com and Wårstad's discography have all the album tracks being written by Numan. Although "New Thing From London Town" was originally written by Odell, Wårstad's discography has it as being re-written by Numan. -- JD554 14:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Both the UK and US reissues credit New Thing as being written by Sharpe & Numan, and the US version as well as Wårstad credit the 12" New Thing for Sharpe & Odell. I've already amended the article accordingly. Cheers, Kjet 15:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
