I Love You #19 / Man in the Moon [7-inch single]

Description

“I Love You #19” – b/w “Man in the Moon” – is a two-sided 7-inch vinyl single by the American rock band Daniel Amos, independently released on Stunt Records in 2018 (catalogue number SRPD-2011). Both tracks were taken from the band’s full-length album Horrendous Disc released on Solid Rock Records in April 1981. The album was recorded by Mike Stone, assisted by Thom Roy and Wally Grant, at what was then known as Maranatha! Studios located in Santa Ana, California (to be renamed Whitefield Studios the following year), with Stone and the band co-producing. Mixed by Stone, Ken Suesov, Mark Heard, and the band at Maranatha! Studios and at Wilder Brothers Studios in Century City, California. “I Love You #19” and “Man in the Moon” were written by band members Terry Taylor and Jerry Chamberlain, respectively.

“I Love You #19” was listed as No. 19 on CCM Magazine‘s Top Airplay chart of 1981. The song was first simply titled “I Love You” by songwriter Terry Taylor. The story behind the re-titling has later been told by guitarist Jerry Chamberlain: “We gave ILY the #19 designation because Terry and I took a trip down to our local record shop and perused the yellow-paged directory of recorded music that used to perch atop the counters of major record stores in America. I remember counting the number of songs listed with the title, “I Love You”. There were 18 listed at that time…”
