Otto & The Elevators 40th Anniversary Vinyl/CD Release (1973 – 2013)


Daystorm Music marks the 40th Anniversary of the recording of Gary Tanin’s Otto & The Elevators with the 40th Anniversary Edition Vinyl/CD release – created from the original master tapes of the critically acclaimed 1975 recording.

“Even by today’s standards, the music here is bright and bold, Tanin sticking his grubby fingers in every possible piece of genre pie: “everything from polka rythyms to blues guitar licks, cool jazz soloing, Tin Pan Alley melodies and Stax-Volt soul.” Mark Wong – BigO / Singapore

“The lyrics are simple, …the kind most difficult to write. Tanin shows his ability to make the transition from nonsense songs to
love songs to what we’re now calling country rock. His versions are pure – rather simple – really well done.” Carol Line – Bugle American

“Tanin’s music has a remarkable lasting power and tends to sound as viable today as when it was first recorded. Tanin, an incurable romantic at heart, sings about sun and rain, love and happiness, just as he always has, putting sincere feeling into the words linked to his memorable tunes.” Gary Peterson – Milwaukee Sentinel

Daystorm Music is releasing Otto & The Elevators – 40th Anniversary Edition as a limited edition Vinyl/CD combo package via mail order as well as digital download by way of iTunes, Emusic, Rhapsody, Spotify, Xbox Music and CDBaby.
