Not Now. CommunitySee All.

In June 1985, Marilyn released his debut album, Despite Straight Lines. Despite including his three earlier UK Top 40 hit singles, the album only charted in Australia By this time, Robinson's drug addiction and his highly publicised disputes with Boy George damaged his public image. Public tastes were also changing, and his music career suffered.

Despite Straight Lines Josef Albers SIGNED.

Marilyn channels all of his emotions and thoughts into this album. Its very personal and speaks a lot about our society. Holy Wood is truly an absolute masterpiece. Even from a fan of Holy wood and MA this album is one of his best, even fans of jazz and blues I know respect this album for its amaZing guitar lines and he doesn't lose his edge, instead of fighting mainstream head on like in Antichrist superstar he sneaks from behind and deals a dishing blow that way, and his voice.

Nuadazius
10 years on from the Cherry Pop edition. It must be time for another revisit of this great album. A new edition including the 12" of "You Don't Love Me" and maybe Marilyn has now mellowed regarding including "Pray For That Sunshine"? We can but hope...
Whitemaster
Aside from missing the single "Pray for That Sunshine" (which Maz requested to be removed, even though the song title is still listed in the back of the booklet from the original LP sleeve), this reissue is also missing Maz's ace cover of Diana Ross' "I Ain't Been Licked" (from 1979's "The Boss" LP) - too bad, as otherwise, it's nice to have on CD.
Hudora
Sloppy track listing errors, the erroneous 'Very Best Of' retitle and the loss of "Pray For That Sunshine", not to mention other still missing b-sides, marr this otherwise welcome reissue. Ideally this should have been reissued as a double CD with the complete album on disc 1 and ALL the mixes and b-sides on disc 2. As it is, it's a lost opportunity.
Arryar
Maz took off "Pray for That Sunshine".
Qumen
all 5 singles plus all bsides and the bonus of a million mixes.stop what you're doing and buy this now!if it's not cherry pop it's not worth getting.
