@tommieparch Both. check out eg Reflections(recording)/Empty Bottles/Can You Help Me/Baby Make It Soon/I See The Rain - all on youtube - but eveyone has an opinion.
Personally, I think Clapton is a tad overated and not in the same class as Beck/Knopfler/Hendrix/Marvin - but there you go. By the way, I seem to remember Hendrix mentioned he liked this when he complimented I See The Rain - he saw them play it live at the Marquee Club London
@SirPercyBlakeney listened 2 all the songs u listed, & yeah i agree its a great band. i think sir paul helped out on reflections , like on / no matter what/. all i said was the guitar player wasnt up to par with hendrix & u practicly said the same thing in ur 2nd comment. ur 1st comment seem to imply marmalade was better? i wonder f we r on the same page?
@tommieparch probably not - probably different book. i thought you were implying the guitar player had limited ability, which is far from the truth. By the way, Sir Paul had nothing to do with "Reflections", it's a myth - Reflections was cowritten, arranged and produced by the guitar player we are debating. regards
@SirPercyBlakeney i never said the guitar was bad, just limited. i love this band. put jimmy page on guitar & wed b mentioning thm in the same catagory as hendrix& sabbath .regards
@tommieparch Junior Campbell co-wrote Reflections with Thomas McAleese (Ford). The guitar solo Junior played in the song was unique and actually very praised at the time. What he was playing for the solo was the melodic theme from Reflections BACKWARDS. Combine that with the fact that he was playing a right-hand strung guitar..... Upside down and backwards is none too shabby.
@tommieparch I am the creator of the Marmalade Dean Ford facebook group. Members include former bandmates, friends, DJs, ex-wives of bandmates, childhood friends, etc. We get info from the net, however I have spoken to Dean on the phone and corresponded by mail. The solo in Reflections by Junior is rather famous for its circumstances so there is no magic to my knowledge there. Junior is still quite famous in the UK and had a long run with music for Thomas The Tank Engine.
good cover, if i never heard hendrix version i would of called this a classic. i like the bass better here , but the guitar player is very limited .thanx
Wow, this is a find! I've always loved the Hendrix version of this, and I've always loved listening to Marmalade records. But I didn't realise they had done this. What a great quality they add to the song with their superb harmoising backing vocals. I really am impressed with this. The lead guitar breaks and slightly harder-edged lead vocals and rockier treatment all work well in my opinion, and having heard it I would like to hear more. I'm now going to search out other work like this.
@rodballantyne Hi. Thanks for that tip. These are seriously good tracks, all 8 minutes plus of "Can you help me" and all. Interestingly, I had come across the title of "Empty bottles" earlier today, but hadn't heard it. Something else I found today was a reference to a 1972 album that at least one of these tracks was on. I must find that album and get a copy. Thanks for your help here. I always thought the Kinks the most grievously underrated group, until now. But Marmalade also are...
I have found out that both these tracks are possibly the final two recorded by the original band - and also, BOTH of them are on "Marmalade" - "the ultimate collection" which i can see are available on Amazon - i agree, it is amazing they are not more highly regarded. regards
@rodballantyne Hi and thanks yet again. I will have to acquire that album. This exchange with you has been a real pleasure. I have now added this track "Hey Joe" as one of my favourites. One of my best recent finds. All the best.
PLEASE join the Dean Ford Singer/Songwriter Facebook group to get our #s up! We're hoping Dean will do a live chat. Listen to Reflections of my Life and remember what a great Singer/Songwriter he is. Jimi Hendricks said he had the best song of 1967.

Where are all the knowledgeable marmalade fans this was a B side of one of their big hits on 45, give me some help here, please, I had the single. Think it might have been Oh bla de
I've posted Music Machines version. I also have it by Hendrix, The Byrds, The Leaves, Tim Rose, Love, Shadows of Knight, Creation. I think that's all, might be wrong.
Great version of Hey Joe. If you like this listen to "I've Been Around Too Long" also by The Marmalade. Very similar - also excellent.
