The Morticians (Mortician)

The Morticians were from the state New Mexico. The band members were Keith Elliott , Zachary Head, Tom Dodge and John Huchmaia. The group released two records in the Mid-1960's. The 45 featured today was the Morticians first release in November 1965. In my opinion the group did one of the best covers of Bill Medley's "Little Latin Lupe Lu" in the 1960's. On the flipside the band followed this up with the exceptional teen lament ballad "Little Darlin".  As you can see from the label this was an original song written by the Morticians. If anyone can provide a photo of the group this would be great.
