christ the subject line character limit is ridiculous.Anyway, Numero does it again. I have to say I wasn't expecting this to be so...listenable? But wow it's a total facemelt.Jack & The Mods is especially but it's really pure from beginning to end.Don't sleep.

    Try editing the subject line now; It should work. The edit allows for more characters, for some reason.

    Numero Group always pretty much kills. I'll have to cop.

    Well, if there is a second volume, take that copy of "Time" by Otis The 3rd and FLIP IT OVER!!! Really, "Walk On By" is my jamm!

    We tried to keep the whole thing indie, and also not to duplicate artists. There were some definite keepers left on the floor because we couldn't license (or find for that matter). It's not definitive, and with this genre, that might not be possible with out a shit pile of cash to blow through.

    got a copy for a birthday present and it hasn't left my car yet. Excellent work.

    I want to know how people can crap on the Numero releases so far, in that other thread semi-recently where someone said they would "personally shit on all the Numero releases", I'm having trouble faulting them, awesome stuff.

    Did you guys consider the Ponderosa Twins Plus One?

    Yeah, but they were semi-hit ridden. We really wanted to stay away from J5, Foster Sylvers, etc.

    i really like magical connection on solar sun. uptempo kiddie soul... at least they sound like a kid group.

    I respect that but even those "big" artists had obscure hits. How many people really have heard, say, "Big Boy" by the Jackson 5, for example? (I'm assuming that would have been a bitch to license, regardless).

    I dunno - I'm not mad at some good Sylvers or Cubie inclusions.

    Don't get me wrong, "Big Boy" is a great song, but it also was comped by Ace a few years back, and is also available on that weird pre-Motown Jackson 5 boot (that also has the Ripples and the Waves mistakenly credited as the 5). The goal was to shine a little light on the kids lost in shuffle. Giving a spot to "Misdemeanor" or "You Send Me" means taking away a Man Child Singers or 3 Simmons, groups that definitely needed a few more lines on their resumes.

    the track selection is on point and perfect. Tonight The Quantrells and Otis the 3rd are killing me. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Numero releases.

    As thanks for giving this record a little thread love, I've upped two tracks from our next two records for your listening pleasure.

    Like record day, but sponsored and confined to this thread and post.

    Looking forward to this one - any chance of a vinyl release as well?

    Not only will there be vinyl, but it comes with four bonus tracks.

    Another Deep City compilation? OH FUCK YES. Is there a release date on the vinyl yet?

    i did not realize TNG was The Numero Group...quality shit!! i love all your releases so far. thanks for making this stuff readily available and in such attractive packaging too. always checking for new releases.
  • hammertimehammertime 2,389 Posts
    was Good God the first to be available on vinyl? Will the old releases be pressed on vinyl at some point? Also do any others have bonus tracks? I've always bought CDs because I like seeing them all in a little line on my shelf, but damn I hope I haven't been missing out on bonus tracks!


    (also I assume the vinyl has all the same liner notes and shit?)

    Good God

    SUCH good stuff on here.

    my local shop has only stocked one of the numero releases on vinyl so far...but all of them on cd, luckily

    Yes, Good God was the first Numero wax. We're slowly going back and updating all of our compact discs for LP format, including fresh masters, expanded artwork, bonus material, etc. Every Numero vinyl version beyond Good God comes with at least one bonus track, and we'll continue this trend as long as we can find tracks. Both volumes of Deep City will be available on wax around the end of the month, boasting a total of 10 extra tracks between the two of them. Look out for Big Mack and Capsoul next year.

    Wonderful. How about running a lp-subscription plan as well? I'd put some $$ down to get every new Numero lp release automatically....

    Now I've got to re-buy these? Will you at least have the extra tracks for purchase as mp3s on your site? This seems fair.
