Marmalade: “Cousin Norman” (1971)
England’s Marmalade were a one-hit wonder in the US (with the sublime “Reflections of My Life” in 1970) but significant hitmakers on their own side of the pond, hitting the top 40 there eleven times, including British top ten single “Cousin Norman” which has a wee bit of Van’s Tupelo Honey running through its veins.

Karl Hendricks Buys Paul’s CDs
06 Apr 2012 3 Comments
Very nice piece from Thursday’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about Karl Hendricks taking over Paul’s CDs in Bloomfield and renaming it Sound Cat Records. I’ve been a customer of the store for about twenty years myself and can’t say enough good things about Karl (or Paul, Jason and John). We need to keep stores like this one alive–in Pittsburgh or whatever city you happen to live.
Here’s a map to help you find the friendliest, coolest record and CD store in the ‘Burgh. If you’ve never been there, please check them out!
