    Toast And Marmalade For Tea

  • Artist:

    Tin Tin

Toast and Marmalade for Tea is a song by the Australian rock group Tin Tin.
The song was written by Steve Groves. It was a Top 20 hit albeit a 'one hit 
wonder' for Tin Tin in 1971.
It was produced by Maurice Gibb (The Bee Gees) and he plays the bass on it.
The song consists of verses only and has 3 key changes in it!!
Whether it was intended or not, listen to the bass guitar at the start of verse 2 
(28 seconds into the song) it seems the multi tracking may have been having a bad day!
