 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. _____________________________________________________________________________ Marmalade Skies Hall Of Psychedelic Superlatives (MS HOPS) poll 2007 Thanks to everyone who voted in this year's poll. It was the biggest response yet! I've added pages for the 3 new inductees--The Idle Race, The Soft Machine and The Bee Gees. As in previous years I'd appreciate it if you can send me your tributes or trashings of the 3 groups so that I can include them on HOPS pages. These can be in the time-honoured HOPS style of "Favourite Track", "Favourite Album", "Best Thing About Them", "Worst Thing About Them" and "Any Other Comment", but any kind of rant will do fine (And anyone who wants to send their comments about the other established HOPS members are very welcome to do so, of course). The first batch of comments are already on display. See if you agree with them! Oh, I almost forgot...Honorary member, by a fair distance, was the Alsatian Bernard Manning himself, Mr ("Mad") Mark Wirtz, so he joins John Peel, Abbey Road studios and Joe Boyd in the HOPS Hon Member annex. Congrats to all of the new inductees and better luck next year to all of the groups and artists who didn't quite make it, because we'll be doing the whole thing again come November/ December (global warming and other catastrophes permitting). Finally thanks once again to Andy Morten for his sterling Joss Dickey (copyright D L Travis circa 1968) efforts. If you want to hear the full top 30 rundown it's all there on Toffee Sunday Smash edition #42. Please send your comments to me at mick@Capewells.co.uk THANKS! I have also just put up a couple of items onto the Spontaneous Marmalade Creation. Meanwhile, of course, if anybody feels inspired then all contributions to MS are gratefully received. 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
