Just in case you've just returned from Mars and missed it, today is the
1st anniversary of one of the most seminal albums of recent years, October
London's "The Rebirth Of Marvin".
We were given a taste of it the prior week of its release with the single
"Back To Your Place".
Actually, we were given a taste prior to that, although we weren't aware
of it, as one of the killer cuts, "Mullholland Drive", was released on "Snoop Dogg Presents Death Row Summer 2022" in Jun '22. We even commented on the post that the song was 'very
Marvin Gaye'sih'!
When the lead single was released on 3 Feb we commented that
'it has more than a few hints of Marvin's "Distant Lover"'. Little
did we know what was coming although we did a bit of digging when the single
was released which is revealed in that post. In summary it was released
on limited edition 8 track cartridge in three sets and sold via TFTs in
April 2021 which are now selling for large sums. Who even has a 8 track
player to play it on?
Albums as good as this don't come along very often so let's remind
ourselves of this modern day masterpiece. A quick tot up on Spotify reveals that the album has received approx. 17m streams to date.
