The Mark Five
A Scottish R&B, Big Beat Band from Edinburgh/Dunfermline, not to confuse with the pre-Creation band The Mark Four
Members:
Gerry Macpherson-guitar
Manny Charlton-guitar ,vocal
Harry Carmichael-drums
Andy Clement
Variations:The Mark Five,The Mark Four
The Mark V got signed on with Fontana after getting noticed from their 400 mile walk. Manny Charlton played the guitar for this song "Tango" -A side of this record, and sang "Baby Whats Wrong" -B side of this record, in his first band known asThe Mark V in 1964.
The Mark V
There was a considerable resistance in London to signing any act from Scotland in the early 1960's and so to publicise the plight of Scottish Bands and their own name in particular, 'The Mark V' marched from Edinburgh to London by way of a demonstration in the manner of the Jarrow Marchers. By the time they reached Market Harborough, Fontana were convinced and signed them but the resulting single 'Baby What's Wrong'/'Tango' Fontana TF 513 (1964) did little to change anything.
'The Mark V' have sometimes been confused with 'The Mark Four' who later became 'The Creation'. In fact both sides of the afore-mentioned single were mistakenly included on a compilation album 'The Mark Four / The Creation (Eva 12005)
(Fontana TF 513) 1964

Jancy thankzzzzzzzzzzz !!!
ReplyDeleteGreat collector item !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
spasibo!
ReplyDeleteNice collection - except for the tracks by The Mark Five. This is NOT the same band as The Mark Four who later evolved into The Creation. Further confusion arises when you find out there was another band simply called Mark Four.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, there are two tracks on acetate somewhere by The Mark Four which haven't yet made it onto any compilation. Possibly, they could be demo tracks prior to The Creation forming, with Herbie Flowers on bass. Does anyone have a clue about these? I'd like to hear them, as would several other fans of both The Mark Four and The Creation.

Baby What's Wrong/Tango (Fontana TF 513) 1964
With the addition of rhythm guitarist Mick Thompson The Mark Four briefly became Mark Five for the above 45. Baby What's Wrong was a rather ordinary uptempo song whilst Tango was rather unusual with a distinctive beat.

ReplyDeleteHi Again Dmitrich Ignore the previous query as I have discovered it was one of my browser security add-ons (an add on called 'Privacy Badger') that has blocked all CBox chat screens. Fortunately its configurable so I changed the settings and can see them all again.
ReplyDeleteThanks
