Despite Straight Lines is the debut album by the British singer-songwriter Marilyn, released in 1985.

Overview

Although Marilyn had scored three Top 40 hits throughout the 1983-84 period, his debut album was not released until mid-1985, 18 months after his biggest hit "Calling Your Name" was a top 10 hit. Possibly due to a loss of momentum, the album failed to chart and subsequent singles following its release were also unsuccessful.

Although it is his only album released to date, the album was reissued on CD in 2008 as Despite Straight Lines: The Very Best Of Marilyn, by Cherry Pop (a division of Cherry Red Records). The reissue includes several bonus tracks, consisting of b-sides and alternative versions, though it excludes the single "Pray for That Sunshine".
