Numbers is an album by singer/songwriter Cat Stevens. Subtitled "A Pythagorean Theory Tale", it is a concept album based on a fictional planet called Polygor in a far-off galaxy, and the "Polygons" who inhabited its palace. The album includes a booklet with excerpts from the book of the same name, written by Chris Bryant and Allan Scott, and contains pen-and-ink illustrations by Stevens.
The album was released along with the albums Izitso and Back to Earth in a box set called "Three" from the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab label. It is now out of print.
