MARIONICS
A
DIY label from 1972, pressed by Lyntone. Presumably the example shown
above, 'On Our Way To Mars', by S.O.M. (MS-0001), was the only release on
Marionics. Google is silent about both band and label; my copy of the
single used to be owned by Mecca's Ilford branch, which suggests that S.O.M.
were based not too far away from there. The record itself is an
amiable Pop tune with African / Reggae tinges; the sort of thing that might have
made a decent Boney M album track later in the decade. Its matrix
number in LYN-2513.
