Description
British recording artist Marilyn released his 3rd UK single "You Don't Love Me" in 1984 and later appeared on his debut album "Despite Straight Lines" (June 21, 1985). The album was Re-Released as "Despite Straight Lines: The Very Best Of Marilyn" (November 14, 2008) “You Don't Love Me” was composed by Peter Robinson and Produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.
Offered is an original lacquer coated metal acetate recording that was cut in the recording studio. This record has been in my position since the summer of 1984, when it was brought to me by an associate from London and was stored in a office file cabinet ever since.
Earlier this year Marilyn got back together with old mate Boy George and recorded his latest record “Love or Money.” He made his worldwide debut in late 1984, by taking part in the Band Aid charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas" along with various other pop stars of the era. In early 1985, now facing financial difficulties and being forced to give up his London home, Phonogram Records dispatched him to Detroit, Michigan, to work with producer Don Was. While in America he cut his trademark long blonde hair short and ceased wearing make-up, abandoning the image that had brought him his initial success. After spending a week recording new material with Was, Marilyn was scheduled to perform live for the first time at New York's famed Area nightclub. The performance was intended to be filmed for use in the promo video for his new single, "Baby U Left Me", but the event was an unmitigated disaster. The film crew were delayed, and although Marilyn proceeded to go onstage anyway, the performance was ruined by technical problems with the club's PA system. Midway through his first song, Marilyn left the stage and never returned.Overall condition is Mint- to NRMT On Dec-14-16 at 07:47:31 PST, seller added the following information:
