New Gary Marx Album, Green Ginger Jive, Available for Pre-Order

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Appears that the new Gary Marx Album that had been teased for the last couple months has finally been revealed and is available for pre-order.

From the Store Page:
Wrecking Ball Sounds is delighted to announce they will be releasing Green Ginger Jive, the latest album by Sisters of Mercy guitarist and co-founder Gary Marx, his first commercially available new material in over 15 years.

For this latest opus Marx slams the Batmobile into reverse and hurtles back to a time before The Sisters and Leeds ’79, before Punk.

‘This is the sequinned prequel to the story I’ve been asked to tell a thousand times.’

A Glam Jamboree is perhaps the best way to describe the album.

‘Green Ginger Jive is one long love letter to my youth growing up in Hull and East Yorkshire. It’s me dressing up and playing at being Mick Ronson. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had making a record, and I think it shows.’

The songs are all Marx originals, but he’s wearing his influences with pride. If you ever raced home to see Suzi Quatro on Top Of The Pops, or wrote Slade on your knuckles step right up.

He dragged a bunch of friends, (including That Guitarist, Miles Hunt, and John Robb among others) kicking and screaming to help out. ‘The first time I’ve recorded anything with Wayne since First And Last And Always.’

The songs leap out, one after another, hook-laden and instantly memorable.

‘I wanted to do something joyful, that wasn’t afraid of being silly…I wanted to be fourteen again - fifty years after the event, but who’s counting !?’

Green Ginger Jive will be available as a 12-song vinyl LP with a limited edition 7” single free with the first 250 copies. It will also be available as an extended CD with bonus tracks.

For the sake of a tenner in the great mans pocket it would be rude not to! Good news. :notworthy:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

It's grooving, I can't wait to hear the full
Even though it's a different flavor from the sisters that guitar riff thing in the chorus sounds so like home
