DOMESTIC SHIPPING $ 5 PLUS $ 2 EACH ADDITIONAL DISC . INTERNATIONAL IS $ 20 PLUS $ 5 EACH ADDITIONAL DISC. Marcus Hook Roll Band were an Australian rock group formed by Harry Vanda and George Young. The group is noted for featuring Malcolm Young and Angus Young prior to forming AC/DC.After the split up of the Easybeats songwriters George Young and Harry Vanda did a lot of production for other artists, but also went into the studios to record for themselves with various other musicians. One of these projects was called Marcus Hook Roll Band, and an full album plus a couple of singles were released under that name. Not much promotion was made and the records were not released in many countries.
Musically it comes as a natural continuation of the style that the Easybeats had played on the last album "Friends" with songs like "St Louis". Musically a great rock/soul album with both Harry Vanda and George Young on lead vocals.Wally Allen of The Pretty Things was also a big part of this project, which makes it even more interesting. George Young's two AC/DC brothers Angus and Malcolm are also here.Nobody knew who they were, of course," Waller -- who revisited the tracks for a June 3 re-release of "Tales of Old-Grand-Daddy" -- tells Billboard. "When we got to Australia, at first Malcolm and Harry were playing (guitar) and George started playing the bass. After a couple days Malcolm was really coming on brilliantly; he sounded like he should be about 30 or 50 years old 'cause he had so much maturity in his playing. I said to George one night, 'Your kid brother is something. he's great.' And he said, 'Well, there's another one like him at home. You wouldn't believe it.' So the next day he showed up with Angus as well, and he was astonishing. He must've been 15 or 16 or something; he looked like a fresh-faced kid, but he played like a monster.So he would come along now and again, too. I think George wanted to let them know what it was like working in the studio. Malcolm was around the whole time, and Angus showed up occasionally. It was a great vibe to have around."
