Toast and Marmalade for Tea - Tin Tin

[@Mike-ws7bc]

So simple ,but hauntingly beautiful as well. Brings me back to my carefree teens. Blessed to have grown up with the music of the 60s and 70s. A great time to be a kid and songs like this made it even better. What a gem!!!

[@valerierogers9609]

Ohhhh I love sailing. I remember when this song came out. Looking back, great days.

[@franciscodepaulasantos5243]

Essa música fez parte da alegria contagiante que eu tinha em 1984.....com meus 18 anos.......eu colecionava fitinhas cassete....de músicas do passado.....e nessa época a 40 anos atrás essas músicas já eram sucessos do passado.....anos 70.......eu tinha uma coletânea que tinha o título : SUCESSOS INTERNACIONAIS DO PASSADO....e uma outra GOLD MACHINE.....eu amava ouví-las....Fico pensando: em 1984 já eram sucessos internacionais do passado. Meu Deus.

[@waynebrown8513]

This song will forever remind me of my Dad. My dad took me on a drive to San Francisco, just the two of us, when I was 10 years old. I remember as we crested the top of a I believe upper Fillmore street, the beautiful sparkling waters of the bay appeared on the horizon, dotted with sailboats. This song was playing on the radio. KFRC AM I believe. I lost my father in 2020 to Covid. I never got the chance to say goodbye.

I am so sorry for your loss. May your father sleep in Heavenly peace. My prayers are with you and your family.

Beautiful song, beautiful video.

[@crabbyappleton4384]

Very underrated song....Just simple and brilliant. A feel good tune. Thanks for this.

[@suecondon1685]

I adore that key change, gives me the goosebumps. And the slightly warped sound. Oh the gorgeous nostalgia.

[@natoshisakamotorcade]

THIS video THIS song is magic !!🎆 Kudos wearyoldman🏆🎖 More posts PLS yer artistic skill.

[@stephengarratt5076]

I remember this first time around, but had completely forgotten about this great song, until I saw the title on a web search on 1971 singles. A Wonderful record!

[@wearyoldman]

Stephen Garratt Thanks Stephen. KZbin does have its benefits at times like this when you rediscover a long lost favourite.

Another Simple Gem Of A Song From A Very Fine Group Of Musicians!! TIN TIN !! 🍀💚

[@marthahill1377]

These obscure groups really added to the era.

[@oldiesgeek454]

Yes, this is one that slipped through the cracks.

[@musicmancjp]

oldies geek Produced by one the gibb brothers of bee gees fame.

[@oldiesgeek454]

@@musicmancjp That's what I recently read. I can see why, it almost sounds like the Bee Gees are singing on the record as well. 😉

[@DavidEVogel]

@@oldiesgeek454 Sounding like the Bee Gees was both a blessing and a curse for Tin Tin.

[@sunryse111]

Brilliant, John! I could never forget this one. It was a favourite of my baby brother Robin, who we lost to cancer a few years ago. I always have a soft spot for this song.

[@wearyoldman]

sunryse111 Thanks Victor. I'm sorry to learn about Robin's premature death, but I hope this song brings back some happy memories.

[@sunryse111]

He was the youngest of four (I'm the oldest) and the first to go. Then we lost my sister, Pam. That just leaves me and my younger brother Peter. And I'm healthier than he is ...

[@wearyoldman]

Remember Victor... we will never be as young as we are right now. So I propose we make the most of it and if I had hair to let down, I would do so. Unfortunately I don't, so I won't.

[@sunryse111]

Meanwhile keep posting these "goodies" - and the slightly more obscure the better. I often spend an evening on YT listening to the ones that time (and radio DJs) forgot. Remember The Statler Brothers, "Flowers on the Wall"? I'm going to listen to that again right now.

[@wearyoldman]

sunryse111 I will do my best Victor, but you have set the standard very high. I checked out 'Flowers on the Wall' and although I am very familiar with the song, I did not know anything about the Statler Brothers. I have no fear in repeating the word 'Encyclopedic'

[@waynedunn1108]

Another song I hadn't heard for years beautiful song thanks KZbin you.dint here these songs on the radio you may get lucky with 2ch or 2ue but who wants to stay glued to the radio hoping to here there old favourites

[@paulchristman2456]

This was released in the US on the ATCO label and was a moderate chart hit in 1970. I was a third grader. My older sister had the 45 and played it to death. It's a very simple song melodically and lyrically, but a very haunting and pretty one.

[@oldiesgeek454]

This one slipped through the cracks somehow. I think it peaked at around number 20 on Billboard.

[@calvinhobbes7504]

Thanks for the excellent post, sir or madam. Yes, the effect of pinching the flange of the recorder (or playback) was later known as "flanging" ..... this Tin Tin song may well have been the first ever use of the technique in a pop song. Later, the effect was done electronically through a device called a "flanger" and it became possible to provide this effect in a live performance.

[@drstevie]

Still my all time fave song.

[@darleneslezsak2981]

I learned to play this song on the beach of Port Dover Ontario in the summer of 1971. Still play and sing it everytime I get my guitar out.

[@wearyoldman]

+Darlene Slezsak Thanks for stopping by Darlene. I remember the Summer of 1971... because it rained a lot in Ireland. Now here we are in 2015... nothing's changed. It's still raining.

[@john111257]

a true classic from a less stressful time

[@helennikki4056]

In watching these glorious sailing boats, I cried, being reminded of the recent Tragic fate of 'The Conception' off the coast of Santa Cruz ... and the 34 souls that lost their lives, in the horrific🔥on board! The Only consolation is that I imagine & believe that those, who perished ... and loved the sea, are now those in this video -- Sailing in a Paradise, somewhere ... Still!

[@allenspearing2743]

Very beautiful song. Wish it would have been more popular

[@franciscodepaulasantos5243]

Maravilhosa musica e video

[@UNOwen1]

Gosh, remember Tin Tin? Wow, I'd nearly forgotten this track. I always thought this track had a bit of a Beatles-esque quality to it- both lyric-wise, as well as production-wise (it was Maurice Gibb, who did the production, if I'm not mistaken). It's such a beautiful song, which I've not heard in so l long. Thank you, +wearyoldman, for posting this slice of colourful (in my mind) remembrances, of summers, long ago, sitting on the grass in Eliz. Bay, and watching the water, the sky. Beautiful. Sigh.

[@wearyoldman]

U.N. Owen - thanks U.N. Owen... that’s exactly how I remember this song.

[@williamcraig2869]

I’ve never heard that song “Toast and Marmalade for Tea” over the years since I heard it last many a year go but the only thing I heard that haunted me in that time until in recent years that piano wavering throughout that song... Thank God for some radio station to have the sentimental guts to play that tune. And that piano wavering through that song STILL haunts me today!

[@donizetimartin9667]

Belo gosto musical.....Bela musica......Bela banda.....Parabéns!!!!!

My Darling Wearyoldman, Love the song and I adore the visual of the sailing ships. I would love to be on one of them. It must really be exciting..... ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS FOOTAGE! Millions of STARS SAILING SMOOCHES g

[@wearyoldman]

***** You are so kind g. Yes, sailing on a boat like this must be exciting. I have never had that particular pleasure, but I have had toast and marmalade for tea a few times. Thanks for the stars and smooches and have a great week.

[@Chasencharlie13]

Hello Genia, just ran across this song recently. Have not heard it in years, brings back so many memories while growing up in Hawaii. Use to go sailing a lot and spent many hours on the water. Would not trade those days of my youth for anything...Miss those golden days....Peace and Love....

[@valiantthor6450]

I thought the lyrics were “Oh and mama lays fatigued”. Wrong, its “Toast and marmalade for tea”. My God, I had not heard this lovely song in 45 years! Thank you for the upload and the incredible memories.

[@garyinla4807]

I thought it was "On lovely avenue" instead of "aren't lovelier than you!"

[@oldiesgeek454]

First time I heard the intro I thought the record was warped.

Tin Tin had an Australian connection with the Bee Gees. This recording was produced by Maurice Gibb. He also played bass on it.

Nao canso de ver estas imagens sensacionais destas embarcacoes !!!

[@theoriginaldab]

I heard this this morning and a pilot travel plaza...I have not heard it in years...and cannot remember the last time I actually heard it and I loved it then it was a nice mellow easy going song and it sounds just as good today as it did back then I would have to say that was probably back in the early to mid-70s

[@myriahblue]

This is such a sweet song

[@morgylyn]

My God! I had completely forgotten this treasure. It's two in the morning and I have just finished playing it for the third time. I suspect that this song will have become an ear worm before morning, but a very nice one, and once again the accompanying film is terrific. The weather here is rotten just now, wind tearing at the apple blossom, and bumble bees flying backwards, still I have hopes for a sunny weekend. Thanks again you lovely man.

[@wearyoldman]

bella donna A treasure it definitely is. Bumble bees flying backwards... I love that. Yes, my garden is at its peak for 2015, but the wind and rain is battering it to pieces. However, the mental image of bumble bees flying backwards due to weather conditions, will stay with me for a long time. Thank you lovely bella donna.

[@afonsorodrigues9014]

Isso sim é uma bela canção

[@alanstrong3295]

A hit by far.

[@rockland6674]

Steve Kipner of Tin Tin was interviewed on Barry Scott's "Lost 45s" radio show back in the late '80s or early '90s. He said that the piano part was originally recorded straight, but it sounded "boring". They hit on the idea of recording the piano part while the engineer applied slight pressure to the tape reel. Barry Scott replied that he'd always thought it was some strange exotic instrument.

[@Kenjock3000]

+rockland6674 I had always thought the "wobbly bits" were played on a mellotron . Thanks for clearing that up!

This is a fabulous upload John.I feel like going sailing with this great song that slips through my ears like Marmalade,well,makes a change from Honey! ;) My T۫۰۪w۫۰۪i۫۰۪n۫۰۪k۫۰۪l۫۰۪e۫ ✬✬✬✬✬✬✬ sailing in your direction! Golden Day Blessings for the new week ahead my friend!

[@wearyoldman]

Twinkle3067 Many thanks Linda. Strange song this in the sense that it doesn't follow the normal structure which is usually Verse 1 followed by Chorus followed by Verse 2 and so on. This seems to be Chorus 1 followed by Chorus 2 and repeated in no particular order. But it works for me. I'm still waiting for the weather to improve here.

[@JohnBassarcticsoundstudios]

I love this song and the group. But check out the bass guitar going into the 1st beat of the 1st verse it stumbles in. Misses the beat.

[@JVsMusicalSoundscapes]

It could be an appoggiatura. The ornamental lead-in A note is on the beat. Too bad that we can't ask Maurice about it.

[@paulvinall4713]

superb x

[@johnwhittle5893]

Good song reminds me ofR

[@musicmancjp]

The story goes that while they were recording in the studio somebody was leaning on the tape machine slowing the tape speed down giving the distorted sound,when the herd it played back they decided to put the recording out.

[@theoriginaldab]

The only negative I've got to say about it is listening to the song on here and on the other videos I have listened to it on it sounds like the music itself is dragging but the vocals are perfect
