Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

Marilyn - Calling Your Name

While a regular at the London Blitz Club Robinson, now adopting the name "Marilyn", was introduced to Boy George through a mutual friend and fellow Blitz kid, Philip Sallon.

Boy George and Marilyn moved into a squat in Kentish Town, a suburb of London.

While Boy George went on to form Culture Club in 1981 and secured a recording contract with Virgin Records, Marilyn was still scouting for a recording contract and had relocated to Los Angeles for some time to work on an album for James Cleveland.

He teamed up with songwriter and pop entrepreneur Paul Caplin, with whom he co-wrote 'Calling Your Name'.

By this point, Culture Club had made a commercial impact with their debut album, and record companies were seriously looking for artists with a similar cross-dressing image.

Due to this Marilyn was signed to Phonogram Records and released his debut single, 'Calling Your Name', in October 1983. The single reached number 4 in the UK, number 4 in Australia, and number 1 in Japan. The lyrics to the song were reportedly aimed at Boy George, with whom Marilyn was now having a stormy off-and-on friendship.

Marilyn - Despite Straight Lines - Album

Peter Robinson (born 3 November 1962), better known as Marilyn, is a British pop singer who achieved international fame in the 1980s with his hit song 'Calling Your Name'.

Robinson was a part of the British New Romantic movement, a late 1970s underground post-punk fashion movement that became popularised in the early 1980s. He and Boy George were regulars at 'The Blitz' nightclub (regulars being labelled as "Blitz Kids"), a highly stylised nightclub in London.

Following an appearance in the video for Eurythmics' hit single, 'Who's That Girl?' in 1983, which garnered him considerable press attention, Marilyn was signed to Phonogram Records.

However, after much delay, and 18 months after his first hit, Marilyn's debut album 'Despite Straight Lines' was released in June 1985.

The album featured his three previous hits and its release was led by a new single, 'Baby U Left Me (In the Cold)'. However, due to possible loss of momentum, both the new single and album were commercial failures in the UK.

Tracklisting:
01 - Calling Your Name
02 - Mountain To The Ocean
03 - Surrender To Your Love
04 - Pray for That Sunshine
05 - Third Eye
06 - Baby U Left Me (In The Cold)
07 - You Don't Love Me
08 - Give It Up
09 - Wear It Out
10 - Cry And Be Free
