All the Marbles

Robert Schneider wasn't the only one who called a project Marbles

Marbles (2006)

Once upon a time in mid-70s New York City a group of gents called themselves Marbles and put out a couple of insanely good pop singles that should have enshrined them in the halls of Valhalla, but instead they languished in obscurity and were all but forgotten.

The first single was "Red Lights" and came out on Ork Records. (I'm holding out for a copy with the elusive picture sleeve. It's one that I need an original copy of.)

I picked up the second single years ago in a dollar bin and played the fuck out of it. The kind of record you play multiple times because it's just that good.

 "Forgive and Forget" is the shit, man.

In 2006 Vinyl Countdown compiled both singles and a bunch of live tracks onto this lp that I felt like I paid too much for at the time, but maybe not so much now.

This is complex, intricate and well written and catchy pop songs.

You need this in your life.
