 Marmalade Skies is primarily dedicated to British psychedelia of the 1960s, featuring some of the groups and films that appeared during this wonderful period of time. However, on occasion MS will also feature Prog Rock, Folk-Rock, Glam-Rock and any other type of Rock that I fancy (Seaside Rock...Mmmm!) In addition, expect the odd geographical deviation, e.g Australasian Psych. All contributions are welcome. Thanks for your support. Hope you enjoy the trip. _____________________________________________________________________________ Hi All! A Quick plug for the new MARMALADE SKIES RADIO SHOW which is brought to you courtesy The Radio Cabin, Herne Bay Community Radio.
Click HERE to tune in: Next Shows are scheduled as follows: 8pm-11pm UK time every Wednesday from 8th July I'm sorry but there's no re-play facility yet, unless you are able to record it on your computer yourselves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all, the Wages Of Sin page is back, and there's a new page with a history of the Clayton Squares HERE If you're a fan of music from the Beat, Psych, Prog and Acid-Folk era (1963-76) then you'll certainly be interested in a fantastic new book "Galactic Ramble". Where the "Tapestry Of Delights" book dealt with facts and lists, "Galactic Ramble" gives opinions on the musical worth of hundreds of records that were released during this classic period for Rock and Folk music. Over 500 pages packed with reviews both old--from vintage music papers--and new--from a panel of recognised experts and collectors, plus much more. It's edited by Richard Morten-Jack of Sunbeam Records. Details on how to obtain a copy are given in the Spontaneous Marmalade Creation Don't forget to check out Nick Warburton's great podcast "Turn Me On Dead Man" here: http://www.turnmeondeadman.net/Podcasts/NWSRM/ and his website, which features many more great articles, including a new, updated piece on The Penny Peeps. Go to http://www.nickwarburton.com/wordpress/ I've been slogging my way through 1973 in RTT2. I'm currently wading through a mountain of gigs from September 1973....wish me luck! Check out the Spontaneous Marmalade Creation for details on how to buy a great "Our Technicolour Dream" poster. MS HOPS 2008! Many Thanks to everyone who voted in this years poll. You can now hear the results on the Toffee Sunday Smash HOPS Results Special Podcast! Click on the TSS logo below...or if you're too excited to scroll down a little bit just click HERE HOPS pages for the new inductees are up but I need YOUR input! Please forward your tributes to July, Jason Crest and The Fire to mick@Capewells.co.uk (or slag them off if you want to!) . Click on the link further down this page to view the HOPS pages and read the tributes to the members that have been sent to me so far. If you would like to add your appreciations then send me an e-mail and I'll upload them post haste. I really would like many more comments because the HOPS pages are intended to be YOUR pages, a place for your thoughts and opinions. 2009 is the tenth year of Marmalade Skies and so this year's poll will be slightly different. There won't be a HOPS poll this year because there are now 20 members of the HOPS, and that's enough for now. Instead...there will be an extra special poll that I hope will make everyone put on their thinking caps for a good, long ponder. More details later in the year. Thanks Mick Capewell Meanwhile, of course, if anybody feels inspired then all contributions to MS are gratefully received. Please send your comments to me at mick@Capewells.co.uk Announcements, requests, news, complaints etc now appear on the SPONTANEOUS MARMALADE CREATION (thanks Arthur!) Just one final point though...PLEASE DON'T ASK ME IF I HAVE 'SUCH AND SUCH' AN LP IN STOCK. MARMALADE SKIES IS NOT A MAIL ORDER FIRM. WE DO NOT SELL RECORDS, COMPACT DISCS, DVDS OR ANYTHING! IN ADDITION, I'M SORRY BUT I CAN'T MAKE COPIES OF THE COMPILATION ALBUMS MENTIONED ON THE SITE. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME. TRY ASKING IN THE REGAL ZONOPHONE OR CHERRY SMASH GROUPS.
Cheers, Mick Capewell
