[@smokeemonkee]

I was a "rock" snob as a teenager and turned my nose up at this and other similar stuff on the AM radio during the early 70's. But I heard it all because AM radio was totally ubiquitous during that time. Now, finally with some objectivity (and compared to what passes for pop music now) it so obvious what great music it really is. And this is such a lovely tune!

[@SuperVoxman]

I was a radio jock back in 1970 and I used to hang out with these guys , as I remember they were Aussies , and they used to live opposite the Bull and Bush Pub in Hampstead for a while . Toast and Marmalade was a twee little record and quite pleasant , but sadly for TinTin it was never a hit . I don't think it worried them too much , they seemed to be quite laid back , and just got on with enjoying their lives. How innocent and full of colour it all was in those days .....Ho hummmmm.

[@oldiesgeek454]

+Ron Bozek Oh man, your comment really struck a chord with me! September 1973 was my first year of Junior High, and my first day was anything but pleasant-Full of depression and anxiety. The most popular song at the time was Get Down by Gilbert 'O Sullivan. To this day, if that song comes on the oldies channel, I immediately turn the sound all the way down. It's just too painful. Isn't it funny how a song can trigger your subconscious like that?

You can always tell a Maurice Gibb opening base line on his Rickenbacker stereo in a ballad. It has that signature Mo' sound...Love the way he just falls into the melody and carries it from below.

@@m.e.d.7997 This was on the flip side of the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Old 45 rpm record I had back in 1972 . Played it a zillion times. Memories of days long past but seems like yesterday.

[@Koorijack]

Bit sloppy on the bass at the start of the song

[@donnythompson408]

Margaret ~ it sounds a LOT like “I Started A Joke”. You could literally have one person singing the lines to “Joke” while another sang “Toast” and they would fit together perfectly as a canon. Both songs are not only the same tempo, but are even in the same key signature (G), and follow the exact same chord progression of G/Bmin/Amin/D. “Toast” does eventually modulate up a whole step/key to A, but the song is nearly identical to “Joke” in its chords until that key change happens. The Bee Gees wrote, recorded and released “Joke” in ‘68, and Tin Tin’s “Toast” was written and recorded in ‘71. I find it interesting that Maurice Gibb both recorded “Joke” with The Bee Gees, and also produced “Toast and Marmalade” a few years later for Tin Tin. 😉

It makes me feel instantly sad deep inside...I have good childhood memories when I was only a young lad of 9 in 1966...my happiness was mixed with other emotions ....this music made me feel the world was a place with a hope fir the future.. the simple words gave me a brief security from a fast changing world of illusions and innocence selfish confusions....a childlike soft cry to desires empty echoing into a better understanding of why we feel the loneliness when lost in the darkness of night

@@robinpickett1292 It does stir emotions. Something resonates...I loved those days, and miss them. Getting old is part of it.

Such a haunting music. A mysterious type of melody. I liked this song in my teen years. Because it was so European. I like British music.

a beautiful song , it takes me back to a time that seemed free and easy yet turbulant at the same time

[@jeffreyemerson2565]

Wow....I haven't heard this since I was 14 years old!

First time I listened to this song was around 75-76 when I was 10 years old. I was in a girl’s bedroom, which was exciting, and we played this song, and it has stuck with me ever since.

I've loved it ever since I was a kid

Wow, I forgot about this song! I haven't heard it in at least 40+ years! So glad I am hearing it now! Nice memories of childhood flooding in.

Wonderful song.

[@davidcartwright4421]

I was a "discovering 14-year-old" and this was just one of many many fantastic songs from the best decade of all time!!

[@mizpahshearer1659]

Funny. This song pops into my head often when I'm making toast. I first heard it back when I was a child. I'm 64 now. Still love it.

You, more lovely than the day, when the sun is in your eyes I see through your disguise.... Love, love, LOVE this song.

From a different era when Britain and Australia still had a special bond . Long gone now.
