Pre-LOVE Releases

SINGLES

• ARTHUR LEE & THE L.A.G.'s - The Ninth Wave / Rumble-Still-Skins  [Capitol 4980]  1963  Two instrumentals written by Lee

• AMERICAN FOUR - Lucy Baines / Soul Food  [Selma 2001]  1964  Pre-Love, with Lee and Echols

• ROSA LEE BROOKS - My Diary / Utee  [Revis 1013]  1964  Side A written by Arthur Lee

• ARTHUR LEE & JOHN ECHOLS - It's The Marlin, Baby / THE HURRICANES - House Of The Rising Sun  [LSD 1001]  1964  Obscure one.  The A-side is probably by an early version of "American Four", while "The Hurricanes" may be themselves in disguise, though the fact that the same recording appeared on another label make us think that it's another group.  Any contribution by you would be much appreciatied.  Despite the date, this 7" was probably released in the late 60s after Love's success.
