| Most folk who were around at the time will remember Marmalade as the first Scottish band to score a UK number one hit single, which they did with the Beatles song "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" back in 1969. It's in this collection, of course, but it's not exactly representative. There's plenty of material from the early years, before the hits came, and it's surprisingly hard rock material. Then come the big hits of the late '60s, with their lavish productions; followed by the Junior Campbell phase; then the Hugh Nicholson material; and finally the lesser-known songs from the band's later years.
