The Marbles - The ZTT Recordings, Volumes 1 and 2 (ZTT)

The Marbles first appeared with a 1998 single In My Eye, released only in their native Ireland. They then released two singles on ZTT - some overseen by Pulp/Suede producer Ed Bueller - but disappeared almost as quickly as they had arrived. But now stacks of tracks from this late 90s rival to the New Radicals (as Music Week once mooted) have been made available online. Volume 1 can be found at hmvdigital.com and has 10 tracks in total. Volume 2 is on Warp Records’ bleep.com and has the previously Ireland-only material some live, in-the-studio material. ***
