David Marks was the rhythm guitarist with The Beach Boys from February of 1962 until October of 1963. He co-signed the band's contract with Capitol Records along with Mike Love and the Wilson brothers and was on the bands first four albums (Surfin' Safari, Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl and Little Deuce Coupe). He ultimately left the band left over a financial dispute between his parents and Murray Wilson. He was technically a legal full-time member of the band until late 1967.
David Marks later rejoined The Beach Boys in 1995, first appearing on Baywatch with the band. Then on the Beach Boys Salute NASCAR 1998 compilation. And later appearing on the bands 2012 reunion album That's Why God Made The Radio and subsequent 50th Anniversary World Tour.
Soon
after leaving the band Marks formed The Marksmen in 1963 and released
a few singles on A&M Records and Warner Brothers before
disbanding in 1965. The complete Marksmen recordings were finally
compiled in 2008 on the Quiver Records compilation album The
Ultimate Collector's Edition 1963-1965.
Sundazed
Music released this beautiful little single in 2003 of two of the
stand-out tracks by The Marksmen (“The Sheriff Of Noddingham” b/w
“Kustom Kar Show”). “Noddingham” is a classic surf
instrumental rave-up with plenty of wet, reverby guitar ala Dick Dale, while “Kar
Show” is an endearingly goofy songwith
backing-vocals and handclaps by The Honeys (which featured Brian
Wilson's future wife Marilyn Rovell).
Highly
recommended for fans of The Beach Boys and Surf Rock.
