Thanks Gav for posting Marseille, I really enjoyed hearing it again - still my favourite post-Quo AL track
Until then, I didn't realise it was a cover so thanks for posting the original too.
Neither did I know about the Gaslight sessions inc. Rick & Andy so the whole thread has been very interesting to me.
Actually, the track takes on even more significance now that I know that I'm listening to Ricky as well.

Do we know anything about it's origins?

I wouldn't even believe that Rick and Andy are on them.
These tracks came from Alan's facebook page at the time and very little, if any, information was shared with them.
For the longest time the rumour was that "One Of A Kind" was supposed to be the original b-side to The Wanderer, which is total bollocks.

Not wishing to be unkind, but One Of A Kind has to be close to the worst thing I've ever heard recorded, or demoed, by anyone connected to the band. It's dreadful 80's AOR of the worst variety. Nothing wrong with a bit of AOR and this track is great in my opinion. o One of a Kind sounds like a theme tune to an 80s comedy about an elderly relative who comes to live with her son and his family. Starring someone like Mollie Sugden and Nicholas lyndhurst. im glad it’s one of a kind cos it’s shit |

Reference the song Marseilles, great song from a great band.
The Angels were known as Angel City in these parts and the first UK album was a compilation of the first three Australian albums.
I was lucky enough to have caught live on a couple of occasions, much underrated but much played by myself.
