Outside Inside is the sixth studio album by the Tubes, released in 1983 on Capitol Records.[3] The album peaked at No. 18 on the US Billboard 200.[4]

Dave Connolly of AllMusic favourably claimed "producer David Foster and even more members of Toto help the Tubes punch up their new radio-ready sound with added energy. If their last record showed a newfound dancefloor sensibility, Outside Inside is absolutely funky."[1]

Release history

The Michele Gray version of "The Monkey Time" was also used on the Capitol CD issue of the album.

The album's liner notes list the track "Outside Lookin' Inside" as being "excerpted from a conversation with Harry James."[citation needed]

In 2012 Iconoclassic reissued the album with the original version of "The Monkey Time" featuring Davis. The reissue also included bonus tracks including B-sides that had never been previously released on CD. The CD was remastered by Vic Anesini and featured extensive liner notes and commentary from band members.

The bonus tracks include:

  1. "When You're Ready to Come" (B-side of a single from the album)
  2. "Keyboard Kids"
  3. "Satellite" (an alternate version previously appeared on Bill Spooner's 1985 solo album "First Chud")
  4. "The Monkey Time" (single version featuring Michele Gray on vocals)
