Meine LP-Sammlung wurde durch Überschwemmung zum großen Teil vernichtet !
Die angebotene LP konnte ich zum Glück noch retten - allerdings wurde das Cover durch das Wasser beschädigt:

Die LP selber wurde mit einer Plattenwaschmaschine rückstandslos gesäubert.Das Cover wurde so gut es ging getrocknet, der Schlamm hat aber Spuren hinterlassen und das Cover ist wellig ! Zudem aufgeklebtes Coverpapier z.t. losgelöst. Aber kein Seamsplit!

My record-collection was largely destroyed through flooding. This offered LP was saved , but the cover was damaged by the water

The LP itself was cleaned up without residue with a record-washing-machine. The cover was dried, but marks of mud are visible. The cover is warped. Also some of the album artwork-paper is loose, but no seamsplit

  Wow, here's one where the hype doesn't do the band or their album justice.

   

  In most cases a band typically releases a couple of tracks for a small independent label, before being discovered by a major label which then promotes them into oblivion.  Toronto's A Passing Fancy opted to do it ass-backwards.  

   

  Formed in 1967 and originally known as The Dimensions, this outfit was built around the talents of singer/guitarist Jay Tefler and bassist Fergus Hambleton.  Switching their name to the infinitely hipper 'A Passing Fancy', the group achieved their initial successes playing Toronto's 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 outstanding pop/psych singles:

   

  - 1967's 'I'm Losing You' b/w 'A Passing Fancy' (Columbia catalog number C4-2729)

  - 1967's 'You're Going Out of Your Mind' b/w 'Sounds Silly' (Columbia catalog number C4-2755)

  - 1967's 'I Believe In Sunshine' b/w 'She Phoned' (Columbia catalog number C4-2767)

  - 1968's 'People In Me' b/w 'Spread Out'  (Columbia catalog number C4-2772)

   

  Here's where it gets weird.  In spite of the fact all four singles hit the Canadian charts, Columbia elected not to release an album, and by mid-1968 the band were without a recording contract.  Back to the independents ...

   

  The group signed with the small, Toronto-based Boo Records which promptly released the cleverly titled "A Passing Fancy".  Produced by John Cirvine, the album served to compile the 'A' and 'B' sides from the four earlier singles, along with four new tracks - 'Island', 'Your Trip', ' Little Boys for Little Girls' and 'Under the Bridge'.  As a compilation the album's quite diverse with the band showcasing an almost chameleon-like adaptability.  Largely penned by Tefler and April Blackwood (?), tracks such as the slashing 'I'm Losing Tonight' and 'People In Me' are first-rate garage rock.  The title track, the annoyingly catchy Believe In Sunshine' and 'Island' showcase a top-40 pop feel, while 'You're Going Out of My Mind' and 'Spread Out' find the band immersed in wild psychedelics.  Frequently diversity equates to lack of focus, but in this case it simply makes a great album even better.  In fact, the only real disappointment is the bland and tame ballad 'Sounds Silly'.  Elsewhere Boo tapped 'Island' b/w 'Your Trip' for the group's fifth and final single (Boo catalog number 684).  Unfortunately, as a small regional label Boo was unable to support the album nationally (explaining why it's relatively rare and the asking price), and even though the LP generated strong reviews, by the end of the year the band had called it quits.
