They issued three singles – "Natural Man" (1972), "Louisiana Lady" (1973) and "Can't Stand the Heat" (1974) – and one album – Tales of Old Grand-Daddy (1974).
They released two singles, "Natural Man" (August 1972) and "Louisiana Lady" (March 1973) as Marcus Hook Roll Band with Wally Waller (Pretty Things) producing for EMI.
But out of the blue came a message from Wally Waller that Capitol Records in the USA were showing interest and wanted an album.
[1][2][3] Many of the details surrounding Tales of Old Grand-Daddy remain forgotten due to excessive alcohol consumption during the recording sessions.
[6] George Young was furious with the artwork on the original LP which was a sketch of an old man, supposedly a grand-daddy, in a rocking chair smoking a pipe.
In truth the title was a reference to the duty free Old Grand-dad Bourbon supplied by Waller that fueled the recording sessions.
[4] Tales of Old Grand-Daddy was belatedly released in the USA in 1979 with plain cover art and the song "Louisiana Lady" replacing the bluesy "Cry for Me" on Capitol's "green label" budget series (#SN-11991);[1][3] in the wake of Vanda & Young's Flash and the Pan album.
