“Wilde About Marty (UK Version)”; “Showcase”; “Wilde About Marty (US Version);” plus 13 Bonus 7" singles
Born in London as plain old Reg Smith, our latest UK Rock ‘n’ Roll hero was one of the many young hopeful musical recipients of a new “cool” name bestowed upon him by legendary musical impresario Larry Parnes. Other recipients being, of course, the likes of Billy Fury, Vince Eager, Adam Faith and ah um Johnny Gentle. Marty would go on to find great acclaim during the pre-Beatles era of British rock n roll glory appearing regularly on the legendary TV shows 6.05 Special and Oh Boy! Alongside such other great Brit rockers as Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, Adam Faith and Joe Brown.
And we didn’t even mention Kim…..oops!
