Just seen that Gary Numan has listed Sunburst Finish in his list of 13 best albums of all time. Sorry if this has been mentioned, been out the loop in Florida.....😁
... and in Gary's memoirs he more or less admitted that Bill was right about the production as everything, according to Gary, has gone brighter-sounding since 1983. Hope they try a collab someday again. Gary admitted also that he's grown up a lot since then.
Also, it's so cool that Gary bought every Be Bop Deluxe album he could and went to every show he could on the strength of the name Be Bop Deluxe. He just really dug that name.

From 2012. Gary admits he didn't get on with Bill (when Bill produced Warriors in 1983) but remains a big fan.
