A fantastically talented drummer and part of Gary Numan's band for many years.

He was badass drummer. R.I.P

Anyone remember the scene from "Bad Meaning Good" where DJ Fingers cut two copies of this?

^^This 100%.

Cedric was always great to watch live with Gary and although Richard Beasley is excellent, no one will ever top Cedric. Those were the days, Rrussell Bell and Chris Payne too (not to mention Billy Currie, Denis Haines, Paul Gardiner) - truly talented musicians.

An anthemic piece of music. This is what the team should run out too.

I still have Gary Numan, Adam and the Ants, Siouxsie and The Banshees bootlegs from the late 70's

I recently ''re-discovered'' this album.... it's such a great album and still sounds fresh today, I'd recommend this to anyone who likes Gary Numan and who may not have heard it yet. Additionally, I went to see Gary Numan recently, what a corking live show, again I recommend highly.
