Marcus Hook Roll Band wasn't long-lived, nor did they get much attention when they were active between the years of 1972 and 1974. Nevertheless, the studio-based group occupies an important place in Australian rock & roll history because this creation of famed producers Harry Vanda and George Young also featured George's brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who would go on to form AC/DC after the dissolution of Marcus Hook Roll Band. There were echoes of the Easybeats, Vanda/Young's big '60s success, but they were closer to the fizzy bubblegum of the Sweet, only with heavier guitars. That was all evident on their lone album, Tales of Old Grand-Daddy, which appeared in Australia in 1973 and was succeeded by several singles. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
