The Numbers - Sunset Strip E.P. 7″
October 3rd, 2006 at 2:23 am
This is a re-post from June the 20th 2006. Added more scans.
Instead of ripping my own copy I downloaded The Numbers tunes from 7inchpunk.com or what I thought was The Numbers tunes just to hear that there was something missing. Where had the rawnees gone?
I guess the tracks over there where from the remastered The Riptides(who they later changed their name to and re-released this 7inch) cause it didn’t sound as great as this 7inch. So here you get them as they sounded in the first place. Much better in my opinion.
Someone was telling me there’s some sort of sport event going on. Grown up men kicking a ball around. Well I have two balls to kick around.
Country: Australia
Year: 1978
Label: The Able Label
Format: 7″
Songs:
Sunset Strip.mp3
Magic Castle.mp3

“Sunset Strip” is one of the greatest tunes ever! I have mp3s of both Riptides and Numbers versions but always thought it was some sort of fuck-up in naming the files. Thanks for enlighting a guy to lazy to find out by himself.

“Tomorrow’s Tears” is an awesome Riptides-track by the way. But I’m sure you already knew that :)

Hey Johan! NOW I remember…the Busy Signals by Clive!! Forgotten to tell you that I don’t have the Clive record at home at the moment. BUT I have the Riptieds 7inch laying around and you’re right about “Tomorrow’s Tears” so it’s going to be posted. Listening to the Panic demo by Black Flag at the moment. THAT one has to be posted.

this sounds so much better than the cleaned up version. speaking of cleaning up, the Fun Things ep was posted somewhere, but the rip sounded like shit. does anybody have mp3s of the Fun Things?

I really don’t want to tell you but it’s funny that I’ve worked for the two biggest sport brands and I know none that is so uninterested in sport that I am. When are they going to air punk rock 24/7?

You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for this record and these tracks! Not a collector, just someone who desperately wanted to hear the Numbers version of “Sunset Strip” again. Now if I can just find that girl who stole this off me back in ‘84…. (Thanks!!)

Wow, I’m suprised at what a great EP of raw pop this is! I was leary to even listen to these tracks since I had bad memories from the Riptides’ polished, boring version of “Sunset Strip” on Back To Front #5. The guitars on this Numbers EP are great! I’m still humming “Magic Castle” here at my desk at work. I wish more poppy records sounded like this EP. Thanks for posting.

harDCore, you should get hold of that girl! Are you sure it wasn’t Rob Noxious in disguise or a girl that he duped?
Tony, yes this one sounds quiet diffrent from The Riptides soft remaster. Don’t know what they where thinking.
