Rusty Egan's Gear
"I was using a Roland CR78 drum machine. This was before the TR808 came out remember. Of course in those days it was difficult to get everything in sync — life before the Linn drum!"
Beat Boy was recorded at Trident Studio which has a Solid State Logic desk that is widely considered to be the best in the world. They are undoubtedly the most expensive, starting at around £150,000. Surprisingly hardly any electronic instruments were used on the LP, just a Fairlight CMI, Egan's MC202/SH101 sequencer combination, a Jupiter 8 and a Linn Drum.

Used on Visage's 1980 self-titled album, according to a 1984 interview with Electronic Soundmaker & Computer Music.
We used everything on that album. We had a GS2, two Yamaha grands, two ARP Odysseys about three Yamaha string synths, a CS80 and a Minimoog.
