Passing Fancy

Digitally remastered edition of this album from the Canadian band. Formed in 1967 and originally known as the Dimensions, this band was built around the talents of singer/songwriter Jay Telfer and bassist/keyboard player Fergus Hambleton. Managed by Bernie Finkelstein (Bruce Cockburn/True North Records founder) for a short period, they switched their name to the infinitely hipper (at the time) a Passing Fancy. The group achieved initial successes playing Toronto's vibrant club circuit, including a headlining stint at the 1967 Toronto Expo. The resulting publicity saw them discovered by Columbia Records, which subsequently released a string of four singles to Radio. Even though all four singles charted in Canada, this album was not released until years later. Pacemaker. 2009.
