Marble Hall b/w Get Your Thing Together

This single was a Hank Squires production and featured Montreal singer Brian Redmond on lead vocals. The A-side of the single features ex-Influence member, Irishman Louis McKelvey (see entry on this website), who had played with Squires in South African group The A-Cads in early 1966.

McKelvey co-wrote the A-side with Englishman Roger Gomes, who had joined McKelvey in Canada after working as a DJ and as American singer Millie’s road manager. The track in fact had originally been recorded in demo form by Influence in 1967.

Issued in June 1970, the single was reportedly a minor hit, and is a fascinating piece of music.

The B-side was composed by a certain Martin Martin, who later composed a single for Brian Redmond, also produced by Squires. The track features Brian Redmond and his group Soundbox, who had previously recorded a single (see www.marcdenis.com/ckgm-soundbox.html).
