The Plan
© 1978 & 1984 Beggar's Banquet (BEGA 55)
This album was recorded in 1978 but not released until 1984. In fact it was never intended as an album - it's a series of early songs that were recorded but not initially intended for release. Although many consider this to be nothing more than another example of Beggar's Banquet cashing in on Gary's success, the fact is... there's some EXCELLENT material on this album and it's well worth owning.

Machine + Soul
© 1992 Numa Records/Machine Music Ltd. (NUMACD 1009/NUMACDX 1009)
Regular and extended editions were produced. Due to a production snag, some copies of the "extended" edition exist that in fact do not contain the four extra tracks.

Sacrifice
© 1994 Numa Records/Machine Music Ltd. (NUMACD 1011/NUMACDX 1011)
Widely regarded as a "return to form" for Gary and possibly his best album of all time. Regular and extended editions were produced: the latter contains no new tracks but all songs were remixed in extended form.

Human
© 1995 Numa Records/Machine Music Ltd. (NUMACD 1013)
A completely-instrumental album, comprised of material left over from the soundtrack of the 1991 movie "The Unborn". Co-written with Michael R. Smith.

Exile
© 1997 Eagle Records (EAGCD008)
The most-anticipated new release by Gary Numan since "Telekon", and some would say his finest album of all time.

Many of these original albums are no longer available as originally released. The Beggars Banquet catalogue (the first eight selections on this list) have been reissued in various forms, and some others are on the verge of reissue due to strongly renewed interest in Gary both in the UK and in North America.
