ROBIN JOLLEY WAS CALLED INTO FABLE MUSIC TO REWORK THE LEAD VOCAL TRACK OF A BRIAN CADD SONG, "MARSHALL'S PORTABLE MUSIC MACHINE", WHICH WAS A TOKYO SONG FESTIVAL ENTRY HURRIEDLY PUT TOGETHER IN 1972 BY CADD....IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY THE ORIGINAL CADD VOCALS SURFACE IN PLACES JUST UNDER ROBIN'S AND THE CHORUS STILL HAS CADD'S VOCALS EVIDENT. AFTER HIS REWORKED VOCALS WERE ADDED, ROBIN THOUGHT HE WOULD FADE INTO OBSCURITY BUT HIS SONG WAS NUMBER ONE IN MELBOURNE AND TOP 20 IN JAPAN - AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE BLUE COVER OF THE E. P. RECORD THERE WAS ALSO A JAPANESE VERSION OF THE SONG. IT WAS A MASSIVE ONE-HIT-WONDER....ROBIN DID A BIT OF TELEVISION ACTING C.1977 AND WAS IN "YOUNG RAMSAY" AS WELL AS CONTINUING TO SELL OTHER NON-CHARTING SINGLES AND ALBUMS OVER THE YEARS.
ROBIN'S HIT SINGLE IS ARCHIVED IN THE TOP 500 FOR THE 1970S AT NUMBER 322. NONE OF HIS OTHER SINGLES MADE IT.
"MARSHALL'S PORTABLE MUSIC MACHINE" HAS BEEN RELEASED ON FABLE FROM THE START C. D. WHICH IS PROBABLY DELETED NOWADAYS. IT ALSO APPEARED ON GET THAT JIVE C.D. WHICH CAME OUT IN 2007.
JUST FOR ALL, I HAVE POSTED THE WELL KNOWN K-TEL EDIT (RE-DONE FROM C. D.), AND MY VERY OWN EXTENDED VERSION WHICH RUNS 4 AND A HALF MINUTES...JUST LONG ENOUGH TO ANNOY EVERYONE AT YOUR NEXT B.B.Q.
