Several Artists are named Marcus:

1). A somewhat legendary late 1970s psych private from a guy still living in the cosmic acid seeker mindset, even as the sound is (for the time) modern, with an FM-rock/AOR feel that may put some off. Similar to DR Hooker as a “big ego” project with no resources spared; the songs, the performances and the production are flawless. Hearing this on acid is like walking around inside a psychedelic cathedral, with multilayered keyboards, dreamy female harmonies, and a panoramic 24-channel soundscape. The strongly psych-flavored A-side is awesome in my ears, although the Cecil B DeMille production has its number of detractors. I don’t care - this is a longtime personal fave. The original press was 500 copies, but only about half of them came with the blue paste-ons with Marcus image and titles that cover the center hole front and back. In later years remaining copies from Marcus’ original stash appeared on the market in the plain white disco sleeves only, without any blue paste-ons. Copies have also appeared with what are believed to be more recently manufactured paste-ons, although they’re more or less identical to the 1979 ones. The early 1990s bootleg enlarged the paste-on images so that they fill the entire boardprinted 12” sleeve space.
