Discography - Of Sorts

This has been the most difficult bit on the entire site. I've had real trouble finding out what I've got so far and that really isn't much. However I've made the best use I can of the information I have and if anybody can do it better, please feel free. Also I'd like to be able to complete this chart as best I can so if you've got something I haven't got listed, please let me know what it is, and the catalogue number (and anything else would be helpful, eg release date, label etc). Well anyway … I've done what I can. Many thanks to Frank S for info on special editions and things …

    Notable Appearances In Other Projects…

  •  Short cameo appearance in The Eurythmics' video for Who's That Girl? - mostly employed to lean on Dave Stewart's shoulder and look generally stunning.

     Sang (rather good) microscopic vocals on the Band Aid Do They Know It's Christmas obscenity, and appeared in the dreadful Group-Hug-Style video in an umissable banana yellow jogging suit … yes, well, we all have our funny days, don't we? Incidentally, here's a fun game to play at Xmas. Gather your family round the TV and wait for the video to get one of its 4000 showings on VH-1. Then amuse your nearest and dearest by pointing at the screen with a stick every time you see even a tiny bit of Marilyn, and saying, "Look, there he is … Awwww …doesn't he look smashing?". I guarantee, you will never find a quicker way of getting rid of relatives.

     Took part in Jim'll Fix It seemingly without shame - many cheesy grins and the like were in evidence. The TV show and the Smash Hits tie in were just filled with images of our little blossom looking in desperate need of rescue. See here
