"Ever since I heard the first Larry Marshall record, I have loved his writing, musical and singing style. He has a certain warmth and thrill in these songs that has It a deep aid love in the hearts of Jamaican record buyers. They always look forward eagerly to a new 45 by Larry. Larry was born in Lawrence Park in the garden parish of St. Ann. He attended Keith Primary School and began his singing career in 1960 on the Top Deck Label. Hits flowed from him, such as 'Too Young To Love' and 'Snake In The Grass', 'I've Got Another Girl' was recorded for Prince Buster. In 1968 the first reggae hit, now a classic, was done by Larry, We all remember Nanny Goat with the sharp cutting guitar riffs and the calypso sounding organ chords, 'Thelma' followed and then 'Mean Girl', All these were on the Coxsone Label. Recently, Larry's hits have been 'I Admire You', 'Brand New Baby', and 'Can't You Understand'. I now give you Larry's LP titles I Admire You, 12 shots are here to thrill your reggae-infused soul. King Tubby's mixed the tracks, and Federal Records made the stamper, Quality processing from studio disc. Get hip to I Admire You, Listen keenly to the voice, lyrics and arrangements, I'm sure that you'll proudly admire it!"--Andell Forgie of Swing Magazine

"This album is a collection of songs from Larry Marshall, an elusive and mythic figure whose self-described 'Gothic Folk...from the future' is presented here for the first time in glowing, psychedelic stereo-surround, etched on black wax. Larry has been living in Rhode Island for his entire life, and has performed at many of the storied (and now defunct) venues in and around Providence, RI. Despite this long history, his music is barely known outside of a small circle of close friends and die-hard local fans. Queer And Wonder is a collection of songs from Larry's catalog: three tracks were previously released on a small cassette edition from Unskilled Labor, and a track by the band Box Patrol (w/Larry on vocals and pitch-pipe), was previously released on a CDR by the legendary Fort Thunder Records. The LP is rounded off w/ a few live tracks from a solo gig in Manchester, England, a live radio session, and some collaborations unearthed from tapes found in Larry's apartment in West Warwick, RI. Edition of 350, covers designed by CF, w/ inserts / lyric sheet."
