Keets:

I wouldn't call it New Wave either, but certainly The Who (and therefore
Townshend's writing) was the forerunner for Punk. I'd call AAA the first
Punk song, in content and attitude rather than a strict sound (have to give
that to the Kinks). New Wave was an offshoot of Punk, but IMHO the lion's
share of the credit would have to go to Bowie.

Scott:

And WHO sounds more like Bowie than Gary Numan?

There is a copy called Shaking All Over and with a touch of Dart Pro and
Cool Edit, you can get the sound quality up to pre-remix LAL sound quality.
No tone boosting required...just a little hiss reduction and pop & click
filter.

I've never heard a copy with it.
