LOVE
It’s the marlin, baby (R. Morgan/E. Lucas) / House of the rising sun LSD 1009 (US) (64)
NB: The label states that the vocals are by A. Lee & J. Echols, clearly evident on listening. There would appear to be no Arthur Lee/Love involvement on the flipside, which as the exact same recording was released by the Hurrikanes on another label. Marlin is a primitive recording either pre-dating, or very early American Four, released on a Texas label - maybe released a couple of years later to cash in on the success of My little red book and the first Love LP

RONNIE & THE POMONA CASUALS
Everybody Jerk (LP) Donna DO 2112 (US) (65)
Everybody Jerk (CD) Del-Fi DFCD 72112 (US)
Slow Jerk / Out of the blue Donna 1404 (US) (65)
NB: Album contains Slow Jerk and Everybody Jerk both A. Lee compositions.
Incredibly Arthur sings lead on Slow Jerk and shares lead vocal on Everybody Jerk.
