A Number of Names Twenty years after their proto-techno single, "Sharevari" was released; Paul Lesley and Sterling Jones have re-emerged as A Number of Names. A re-recorded, more DJ-friendly version will appear this fall on Puzzlebox, as will a handful of remixes. It's a good time to re-trace their steps. Childhood friends Paul Lesley and Sterling Jones are the central part of A Number of Names. They formed the band officially in 1981, but their ideas were forming long before that in the halls of Detroit-area Cody, Henry Ford and Oak Park High Schools. Says Lesley, "I had a couple of years to go and Sterling had a year to go. So we were at it kind of early."

"We thought ["Charivari"] was a nice clever name to utilize," says Lesley. (L-R: Sterling Jones, Paul Lesley) Recorded through the summer of 1981, "Sharevari," complete with its mysterious spelling change, leaked out to the party club scene and quickly became a hit. A demo version was played at a Charivari party, and eventually on The Electrifying Mojo's radio show. There's been some debate as to whether A Number of Names predates Cybotron as the first Detroit-born "techno" record, but Lesley sorts out the finer details: "I believe that ['Alleys of Your Mind'] beat us to release date, though I believe we had made ['Sharevari'] long before. We just didn't have the money to release it. It had hit the airwaves before the release of 'Alleys' and [Kraftwerk's Computer World]. Mojo played a version of it, but it hit the street after those records. I was a little miffed because I thought we were first." They decided to put their record out independently first, as Lesley explains: "We started on sheer gumption. W |
