THE MARMALADE - MAN IN A SHOP / CRY (THE SHOOB DOROORIE SONG), JANUARY 1968



Although unsuccessful at release (late 1967 in the UK) this pair of originals from the Marmalade has much to offer.  Both sides are very much in the pop song vein full of strings, horns and sugar coated harmonies, but 'Man A The Shop' is given a distinct edge by the inclusion of what is presumably a backwards fuzz guitar riff that is featured throughout the song.  This is psych at it's lightest, but extremely pleasing nonetheless.
