About the artist
Unknown - no release titled "Great Society" by The Carlyes (or "Carlyles") could be located. A possibly-related credit, "Margaret Warncke, The Carlyles" ("Please Give Us Our Ship Back", Audio Fidelity AF 143 P), exists on Discogs but its detail rate-limited and it is unconfirmed as the same group. The title is presumably a topical LBJ-era reference, not the San Francisco band Great Society. [Source: no admissible match]
