This release contains the Complete first two Troobs Albums - 21 Tracks

THE MARCHING GUITAR ARMY

“Down from the depths of nowhere
You know you'll hear them comin'
And no one, no one can stop them
The marching guitars

I saw them in the city
Comin' up an alley there
A whole crowd of people stood on
The sidewalk and stared

Down through the streets
Through hotels and through bars
The marching guitars
The marching guitars

And no here shall go untouched
There's no place to hide
Stand aside for the marching guitars

And no one knows who they are
They come from afar
They do what they have to do
And turn into big stars

And no one can stop them
The marching guitars

I saw them in the city
They were all around
There must've been about a million
It was a deafening sound”

Daniel Johnston
