They all had bad luck after this. Very few copies of this exist, because the lead singer on a lsd trip burned most of them. the lead singer who had been dealing with the effects of a bad trip, suffered a mental breakdown while the band was touring in Florida. He destroyed the group's equipment in the incident, and the Graveyard Five disbanded.

that is the most wild thing I've heard about an obscure song
@daverice1650
If at least 1 copy survived then the song about death lives on...for those that really live.

The flipside is a cool instro.....called "Theme song" here's some more info on this weird band :The Marble Orchard", an allusion to a cemetery, was penned by Shriner and Kuppinger, quite literally, on an October night in Lakeport's Hartley Cemetery.[4] Kuppinger detailed the song's conception, saying "It was a very stormy night. Lightning. Thunder. We sat in an old Studebaker station wagon, and wrote that song as it happened. The heartbeat in the beginning is me thumping my bass strings. I put a lot of reverb and echo on it and it came out better than the stock heartbeat they had recorded to use. I seem to remember that when Louis asked for the cigarette I handed him a Lucky Strike non-filter, so if you can picture it then that is about what it looked like that night in the cemetery".[3All of the band members themselves have experienced eerily peculiar events after the Graveyard Five: Tempelton was imprisoned, Shriner's whereabouts are currently unknown, Roller suffers from the damage caused by severe burns to his arms, and Kuppinger is diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy, which keeps him in a constant state of pain.[3]

Catchy. Sounds a wee bit like 'Cold Turkey' by The Plastic Ono Band....
