Outside Inside (The Tubes Album)
''Outside Inside'' is the sixth studio album by The Tubes, released in 1983. It was the second album by the group to be released by Capitol Records. The album was produced by David Foster. The Tubes had their biggest radio hit with the single from this album, "She's a Beauty". Early US copies of the album used embossed lettering for the eye chart on the front cover. This made the lettering hard to read. A later version of the cover had the eye chart along with artist and title information printed in red and blue. There are 2 different versions of the song "The Monkey Time". The original included guest vocals from Martha Davis of The Motels. Other copies used a version with Davis' vocal replaced by Michele Gray. Gray was one of The Tubes principal dancers from 1983–1985, and later married frequent Tubes collaborator and producer Todd Rundgren.

The Completion Backward Principle

Colomby claimed the band needed a new producer in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Remote Control (The Tubes Album)
''Remote Control'' is the fourth studio album released by the Tubes. This was their first to be produced by Todd Rundgren (the other being 1985's ''Love Bomb''). It is a concept album about a television-addicted idiot savant. Background Producer Todd Rundgren suggested that the next work be a concept album. Lead singer Fee Waybill sketched out a storyline based on his favorite book, ''Being There'' by Jerzy Kosinski. "It wasn't an original concept," he admits, but "I tried to make it more contemporary." Rundgren encouraged the musical adaptation, and thrust himself into the project, as was his style: "Every song has so much of him," marveled Prairie Prince. Packaging The cover of ''Remote Control'' depicts a baby watching the popular game show ''Hollywood Squares'' in a specially made "Vidi-Trainer". The back cover is the show's game board with eight members of the Tubes each sitting in different squares. The lower right corner square remained unoccupied with the band's ...
