1: Tin Tin was an Australian pop/rock band. The band was formed in 1966 by Steve Groves and Steve Kipner, who named the band after the popular cartoon character Tintin. Through a friendship with Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees, who would later produce both of their singles and both of their albums, the duo was signed to a one-album contract with music producer Robert Stigwood's organization. Maurice produced their 1969 debut album and played on about half the tracks, which bore a marked resemblance to the tight harmonies of the Bee Gees. The LP sold poorly until the dreamy ballad "Toast and Marmalade for Tea", with lead vocals by Kipner was belatedly released a single in the spring of 1971, hitting #20. The song featured These four lines of nursery rhyme lyrics are repeated five times over eerily distorted piano and synthesizer backing. The song gradually builds in intensity adding acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums, a string orchestra, and finally brass instruments, and is now Tin Tin's best-remembered song.
2: Tin Tin was the third band of original Duran Duran vocalist Stephen Duffy.
They released 2 singles - "Kiss Me" (1982) and "Hold It" (1983) before Duffy relaunched himself as a solo artist called Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy in 1984.

@tootsiesdad
Great song. Ive never heard it before. Tin Tin is overlooked and underappreciated!!!
@primocasadei
Ho guardato con interesse la tua playlist da perfetto collezionista. Grazie per la condivisione dei brani nella speranza che tu possa continuare per molto tempo ancora per questa strada.

@PIANOPHUNGUY
I remember this song. Very Euro pop back then. Back in college I mentioned this to a guy who didn't believe such a song existed. Now with youtube I prove hmn error. Actually my brother owns a croquet set and we played it on an island in Newport Beach. I thikk it is a cool game. Fun with tea and scones.

Still have this vinyl!

I love this song and I love Tin Tin both albums. One of the best bands ever although basically Steve Kipner and Steve Grove with help from backing musicians much revered in Australia. They were discovered by Maurice Gibb after making a wonderful very obscure folksy pop album as Steve And Stevie. It's great, but not up to Tin Tin's standards. The two Tin Tin albums are essential melodic magic!

Loved this track and album for a long long time. Pop whimsy! With harpsichord way up in the mix too. Too much to like! :-)
@sunnsight
WoW!!!

Grazie a Radio Luxembourg brani come questo poterono diventarono delle Hit. Grande scelta musicale.

Many years ago an album collector friend made me a LP to CD burn of both Tin Tin albums. Sadly, it's gone missing, but it is nice hearing some of the better tracks here. I wish the first album, especially, was available on music streaming services. I especially miss their version of "Manhattan Woman."
