Surprise - the N&G AoTM for September is.....
15-60-75 (The Numbers Band) - Jimmy Bell's Still In Town
I think this is a record most will be unfamiliar with but I feel y'all will dig immensely. My version of N&G Classics.
Congrats to @dhodo for being the first to go down their narrow road (see what I did there). You earn a bonus entry in the end of month drawing.
My write up will be forthcoming in the next day or two, mainly because I've been talking to Robert Kidney during this process and he has something he'd like to share. I'm gonna wait til I have that to update the first post. In the meantime, here's a quote from Robert about that night -

Below is a link to the 15-60-75 store where you can purchase this 2LP set directly from the band for a measly $25. Better yet, domestic US shipping is only $3 and a paltry $10 for international.
As I said in the intro, I'm passionate about supporting the artist directly when possible and this month everyone has an opportunity to do that. With pricing like this, I kinda feel like the band is supporting us.
Placing an order here also gets you an additional entry in the prize drawing so copy me on your order so I can track that.
You'll likely get a communication from Janet at some point after placing an order. This is Robert's wife who handles orders and shipping. She's a great lady and will take good care of you. Please shop early and often.
Everyone can order here -

Thanks again to everyone for participating. I had a blast doing this. Can I put my name back in the hat?
I've learned a lot about classic NE Ohio bands since moving to Akron a little over two years ago, and this band is definitely one of them. I'm pretty bummed that I wasn't paying attention to the guess thread as I bet I could have (maybe) guessed this one. This is great, fun album and a wonderful choice that's been on my list of records to grab for a while. Will take this opportunity to finally do it.
EDIT: Done.
