NUMBERS -MAD DAY OUT (Former 80s Voxx band with new release!) CD

Read all about it here, former Voxx band reunited! Original release presented as a 60s band, funny story! 

 The Numbers have a very interesting tale to tell all of you rabid record and cd people. That would presumably be you if you are reading this. Cast your mind's eye back to the halcyon days of 1983. Are you there yet? MTV....leg warmers...PacMan....Mullets....You get the idea. 

 It was the year that The Numbers released their "Anthology 64-67" LP on VOXX Records, a subsidiary of Greg Shaw's legendary Bomp Records. This was quite a trick since their names and ages at the time were as follows: Twin brothers Larry and Terry Tutor: 20; Robert Dill: 19. This was an advertising ruse manufactured by the aforementioned Shaw himself to both cash-in and spoof the then-current trend of 60's Revivalism. Both the Nuggets series and the Pebbles series were compilations spotlighting the work of obscure 60's bands, and were very popular with record collectors around this time. So, feeling that the project needed a hook to compete in the crowded marketplace, Greg and Terry wrote liner notes accordingly. The look was already there. The band, of course, was a modern collective who wore their 60's influences on their arms (much of the time, we don't wear sleeves in Southern California). It was also fortuitous that this was right in the middle of LA's fabled "Paisley Underground" movement, and there were many bands with similar 60's influences (The Bangles, The Three O'clock, and Rain Parade to name 3). Trends come and go and this one did both. The Numbers eventually morphed into The Bordersnakes, and pivoted to another musical genre.

 Flash forward to near today. After years of doing "Electrified Americana" (that's what Terry called it) ,the Vinyl Community emerged on YouTube. Terry, a very avid Beatles fan (along with a lot of their contemporaries) was viewing Matthew Street's Beatles Channel only to find out two things: 1. Matthew did reviews of other modern acts. 2. And, at that moment, was giving a glowing review to the previously mentioned Numbers 1983 LP.

 The band was soon writing and recording songs in The Numbers oeuvre. And, they were changing the name back to The Numbers.

 Now, here is the practically unbelievable part: Bomp Records had just acquired a deal through Bachelor Records for the reissue of the original album! Almost simultaneously, The Numbers contacted Bomp and the result is: " Mad Day Out " the first album bearing The Numbers moniker in 42 years.

 The current Numbers are:Terry Tutor, Larry Tutor, Greg Krueger, and Voyce McGinley. See the abum jacket for more details. And, more importantly, BUY THE RECORD!
