Exclusive sneak peak of a video for Teenage Prayer (only be available as a limited edition 7” single with the initial 250 copies of the vinyl album).




I say "exclusive" because that nice Mr. Marx sent us the link and told all the other outlets to hold off for a couple of days so we could all see it first

Truly a nice man.

Aw that's wicked. Seems a long time ago now that i was bothering him with my continued correspondance (which in fairness i kept up because he was so nice and kept replying) but he really does appreciate us Sisters fans. Proper gent.

Very kind, indeed ... ... thank you very much ... ...

That looks crazy. A bit like crazy in the 70s, but of course beyond. Curious to see the whole thing when it's released ... ...

huh

and also

It's arrived.

And I received a notice from sender Gary Marks, with the adress handwritten on the sleeve. What a nice little story...

Arrived here too, on Tuesday already ... perfect, as it was a bank holiday here yesterday ... ...

Love the booklet ... ... pretty comic style, nice ...

Nice message from Wayne to Gary about his gig tonight

Patchy recording of Gary playing SKOS at the end of the gig on Friday



Apparently he's waiting for a better quality recording to be finished up, but in the meantime he wanted to share that with us

Hi-hi, love the China Girl reference ... ... thanks for posting and thanks to Gary for giving it to us ... ...

Thoroughly enjoyed, looking forward to the more official version. That guitar tone, so damn iconic and glad to hear he's still capturing it so well.

Four takes by Mel Butler from the album launch party ... nice ... ...

Nice to see Phantom getting it's time in the limelight. Honestly this is a better rendition than the official release.
Looking forward to the sudden surge of cover versions from the enthusiastic fanbase.

Agreed, that's fkng awesome, full-on chills down the spine fabulousness. Good job Mr Marx

That was immense.

I had to leave just he started FALAA so missed the last part, but it was a great evening.

I am gutted I couldn't be at this, looks amazing. And what a nice man.

Is that some interesting alternate verses there on SKOS? I'm going to have to have a closer listen...

Yeah, but at the end at least there is also something else. Sounds familiar but what is it exactly ? ... ...

Both Ends Burning from Roxy Music if I had to bet.
This song near the end has the same melodic movement that China Girl and SKOS too.

yep, china girl (by bowie and iggy) and both ends burning (roxy music, covered by ghost dance)

he actually says "both ends burning" at 5.18 secs (ish)

What a thoroughly superb evening that must have been.
I loved the songs and got goosebumps when I heard the old songs played by the master himself. And I can only agree, what a lovely man he is.
Thank you so much for putting the vids up and a big thank you to Gary Marx for caring about us old bunch as he does. He really is something special.

that looked like it must have been awesome. Mark is just a f**king HERO.

it was pretty amazing

he came across as a genuine, self-deprecating and reflective guy, who didn't take himself too seriously (at all).

Looks like Gary Marx is playing a gig in Leeds next year;
