The Marquis on Earl

[Rich Strauss]

I recently acquired my number one want after years of searching. It is:

The Marquis - The Drifter/Love - Earl 1004

The label is from Salem, Oregon. I assume that the band was from that area. According to the SJW number, the record was released in January of 1968.

The aside is a band original as far as I know. The bside is the Country Joe & the Fish song from their first LP, but done in a garage style.

Here are the label scans & links to .mp3 files.

I think that this record is pretty scarce. I know that Barry & George have a copy. And one more Northwest collector. Anyone else?

The zippyshare link sent me to an extremely dodgy site, so I did not proceed. Congratulations on finding your #1 want Rich.

Congrats Rich, the best Xmas presents are the ones you buy for yourself. The MP3 links play fine for me. A cool 2 sider. Thanks for sharing with us.

They play fine for me too but after the BOSS said it was a extremely dodgy site...I wish I hadn't gone there.

I don't know anything about T. Edmundson, but "The Drifter" here sounds in the same arrangement as on the H.P. Lovecraft first album.

Good catch, Captain! So, both sides are covers.

Thanks for posting this! I remember hearing about this record about seven or eight years ago, probably from the other northwest collector you mentioned, he had a "stall" at Crossroads records when they were still on Hawthorne in Portland, been wanting to hear it ever since! Kind of a mess but in a good way...

Well, according to my phone, G45 Central is a dodgy site! Not sure why exactly. I know what you mean though, lots of scary pops on zippy share these days, streamed the tune without problems though.
