Jig-A-Jig / Marcus Junior

Released in 1972 on the Deram label, this single represents a transitional period for the progressive rock group East of Eden. Following the departure of key members, the band shifted away from their more experimental, jazz-fusion-inflected roots toward a more pop-oriented sound to suit the prevailing sensibilities of the early 1970s British music scene.

The A-side, Jig-A-Jig, is a high-energy, fiddle-driven track that leans heavily into traditional folk influences, a style that had found mainstream success during this era. Despite its departure from their earlier work, the single is noted by enthusiasts of the Deram catalog for its distinct production style, though it remains a deeper cut compared to the band's more critically acclaimed progressive albums.
