I was reading about them last week and copied this note - from Amazon I think:
In 1960, Ernie Freeman assembled a group of studio musicians at Liberty Records and recorded a rock version of the 1906 march National Emblem which he called National City under the billing The Joiner, Arkansas Junior High School Band, and in late May/early June it made it to # 53 Billboard Pop Hot 100. There was, of course, never any such band in Joiner (home town of Liberty president Al Bennett) but for a while there organizers all over the U.S. were calling around to try and book the "high school band" for one of their parades.
Seven years later, Joey Day and Alan Dischel resurrected the idea with another group of studio musicians, this time at Jerry Blaine's Jubilee Records in New York City, and in late 1967 released Lapland as The Baltimore And Ohio Marching Band and in late October it peaked at # 28 Adult Contemporary and # 94 Hot 100 on Jubilee 5592 b/w Condition Red.
Around the same time they also released this album (Jubilee JGS-8008) which contains: 1. Lapland; 2. Do Re Mi; 3. The Yellow Rose Of Texas/Whistle While You Work; 4. Girl Watchers Theme; 5. Bach Minuet; 6. The B&O Marching Band Song; 7. The Happy Wanderer; 8.. The Colonel Bogey March; 9. The Kazoo Special; 10. The Children's Marching Song; 11. St. Louie Street March; 12. Seventy-Six Trombones.
Early in 1968, The Happy Wanderer/The B&O Marching Band Song were culled from the LP and released as the single Jubilee 5614, but this time no cigar. Later that year they released their second and last LP (Jubilee JGS-8014) titled "The Baltimore And Ohio Marching Band Plays Music From The Comics" containing: 1. Simon Says; 2. Alley Oop; 3. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man; 4. Jubilation T. Cornpone; 5. The Kids Next Door; 6. Barney Google (With the Goo Goo Goggly Eyes); 7. Snoopy Versus The Red Baron; 8. Little Orphan Annie; 9. Lady Bird; 10. Gogo Togo; 11. Batman Theme; 12. Sgt. Crunch. That is a rare one indeed.
From that album there came the single Sgt. Crunch b/w a new tune called The Tipsy Gyspy on Jubilee 5644, and a bit later in 1969 they released Little Arrows, with a mono version on one one side and a stereo version on the other as Jubilee 5672. Again, nothing charted.
