Description

The core, and only constant during their five year career, of The Numbers was the brother and sister team of Chris and Annalisse Morrow. In Chris, they had an excellent songwriter and inventive guitarist and, in Annalisse, an equally accomplished musician and a striking focal point.

Over the course of 3 years, The Numbers released one E.P., six singles and two LP's. Many will remember them from their numerous Countdown appearances and their first two singles, the hits: ‘The Modern Song’ and ‘Five Letter Word’ and their self-titled debut LP. However, there’s a whole lot more to their story. Although The Numbers reached their commercial peak early (‘Five Letter Word’ was their last charting single), they continued to release excellent material – four more singles and a neglected second album: 39.51 (the title was a curt response to the criticism of their debut LP’s 28 minute length).

Because of this, many did not get to hear some of their best material- and is the reason that we are releasing a compilation that covers The Numbers’ entire career (including the ultra rare indie label release: Govt. Boy - one of the all-time classic Australian debuts).

The 20 tracks on this compilation have been selected from their singles, their two LP's: The Numbers and 39.51, plus two non-LP b-sides: 'Take Me Away' and 'Alone', and, as a bonus, their entire three track E.P.: Govt. Boy.
