Rip
Manage episode 375904123 series 3325084
In 2000, Gary Numan released his most industrial album yet, Pure. Well received by critics and fans, it was arguably his best LP for nearly two decades.
However, its lead single wasn't released until nearly two years later. And it was a surprising success, sending Gary back into the charts.
This episode reflects on the Pure era and the lead single 'Rip', the most unlikely top 40 hit.
