I just love this sort of thing,square groups and singers dipping their toes into dayglo territory,of course well known albums of Del Shannons"Charles Westover"album and The Four Seasons"Genuine Imitation Life Gazzette"instead of just dipping their toe they dived in for a whole album each!!I love both those albums and another of Del Shannons London recordings recorded with Andrew Loog Oldham and released on cd by Now Sounds with the title"Home and Away"those recordings are magnificent!!!!I can remember maybe 15 years ago that Paul Martin put a whole cd of this type of thing together,and it was very entertaining.I also read of this many many years ago in Mojo Mag where they did a nice little article on this and also in the sadly missed Sweet Floral Albion e-zine.Is this Marshmallow Skies(after a Rick Nelson track) cd a legit release??

Hi Stuart,

its on Teensville so I think its legit.

By the way its good to have you back

The Roy Orbison song (Southbound Jericho Parkway) was an excellent "discovery" for me.

On the B side of a fairly cheap UK London 45 too.

It's also on my 'Dream Weavers':smiley: CDR comp from 2004 (sorry, couldn't resist that!!). Marshmallow Skies is probably the best commercially available collection of this kind of stuff so far, it's a very enjoyable collection. Certainly better than the 2 x CD attempt on Past & Present some years ago of whichthe title eldudes me.
