Marcus Hook Roll Band was one of the many studio projects done by former Easybeats guitarists Harry Vanda and George Young. It featured George Young (vocals, guitar, piano, bass), Harry Vanda (lead guitar, vocals), Alex Young (saxophone), Angus Young (guitar), Malcolm Young (guitar), Freddie Smith (bass), Ian Campbell (drums), John Proud (drums), and Howard Casey (saxophone). The project released one record, Tales of Old Grand Daddy (1973), which was issued only in Australia (EMI), although a variation would later be released in the U.S. on Capitol's "green label" budget series (#SN-11991) in the wake of Vanda and Young's Flash And The Pan album. They also released three singles. The first one being Natural Man/Boogalooing Is For Wooing, followed by Louisiana Lady/Hoochie Coochie Har Kau (Lee Ho's Blues), and Can't Stand the Heat/Moonshine Blues; all three featuring B-sides written by their British producer, Wally Allen. The album is noted for being the first recording project for George's brothers Angus and Malcolm, predating AC/DC by at least a year.
