Whatwent wrong?> Honestly (IMHO) I don't think anything went really wrong with Sir Marc. I think he just ended up using his Eddie Cochran and Jimmy McCracklin influences to better effect. His warble in the early days is almost unlistenable to me. Once he got it together (to these ears) on the remarkable Beard Of Stars LP (here comes the electric again!) he really began to shine. While at the height of his cognac and blow abuse he did "overindulge" in his rhyming but I think he still managed to pull off some remarkable productions. Zinc Alloy and even the oft criticised Futuristic Dragon have some glorious moments... While we may not have had "3rd Degree" available, Napier-Bell whored out every other cut Marc did...and like I said, most are pretty bad. There is one other psych one that I was looking thru my stuff to find but can't... damn. Yeah, if there ever was a guy who had his stuff fucked over then it's Marc.
