Reviews
- Someone made a 7" edit of the Pointer Sisters version, I'm sure it's listed here on discogs too. If anyone knows which record I'm talking about, please be so kind and let inquiring minds know. Thank you!
I bought this when it first came out. And as with most people, I bought it specifically to have The Pinball Number Count on vinyl. Such a great track! It's hard to believe when I was a kid the only way you could listen to it was simply to wait. for. it. to. show. up. on. tv. Why did they never release it on one of the bajillion Sesame Street albums?! Glad to have it now. (Annoying to have a record with 33 on one side and 45 on the other. Did we really need the higher quality bitrate of a 45 for a disco version of C is for Cookie?)
They didn't release this back in the day, but we got Bob singing about the people in your neighborhood?
12 of these in the song and cookie disco was made for you!
Edited 7 years agoAs a nipper in the mid 70's, Sesame St was a pinnacle stabalising bolt in my infancy. A Muppet enhanced Disco track always raises a smile, but the 'Pinball Number Count' was total escapism. I'd wait a whole episode, hoping to see the psychedelic animation, which was trippy as hell; Like something off 'The Yellow Submarine'. In 2003, some 30 years later, this slab of wax was like a gift from the gods. My favorite Pointer Sisters track & favorite animation of all time. Strictly Kev was ahead of the Disco re-edit mania that followed on from around 2005.
Edited 7 years agoThe only time Ninja Tune have p*ssed me off LOL.... Repress at a sensible price please! ;(- Edited 12 years agoPinball Number Count... the number eleven never sounded so crazy. The Pointer Sisters make learning about numbers fun. The fact that these legendary R&B singers were doing educational television is really fortunate. Strictly Kev's mini-mix highlights an outstanding steel pan solo. This is a rare situation where the remix could be better than the original cause this uses all the little songs put together. This song will make a dance party break out in your dam kitchen.
Is this where the term "disco biscuit" came from?
Edited 19 years agoThis is the best record I've ever accidently found in my life. I just picked it up last week in Toronto...the cover summoned my wallet. Anyway, I had no idea it was the "12345....678910......1112" song...man that brings back preschool nostalgia like never before. I can't thank Ninja Tune enough for releasing such a wonderful piece of music...Thank You.
