Tin Tin (album)
"Tin Tin" is the first studio album by the Australian group Tin Tin, produced by Maurice Gibb. RecordingGibb not only produced Tin Tin, but also played on several songs on this album. Steve Kipner recalls that they had fun trying to play everything themselves without a designated drummer. "Only Ladies Play Croquet" features Groves on guitar, both Groves and Kipner on drums and Gibb on harpsichord, bass, drums and mellotron. "He Wants to Be a Star" features Groves on guitar, with Gibb on bass and piano. On all tracks, Kipner and Groves handle lead vocals.[2] Two unreleased tracks, "Bad Night" and "Listen", were written by Kipner and Groves and recorded on 6 May. On 6 October, they recorded the 1956 Chuck Berry song "Roll Over Beethoven", which was not released. During sessions for the album, Gibb and Kipner recorded "Have You Heard The Word," which was released as a single under the name The Fut. For many years it was rumoured to be a lost Beatles recording, until Gibb and Kipner divulged the story. Reception"Toast and Marmalade for Tea" reached No. 20 in the United States. "Swans on the Canal" was later released as a B-side of their 1971 single "Is That the Way". In the UK, the song "Loves Her That Way" was included, but in the US version it was replaced by the single "Come On Over Again". Track listing
