Hey David (and friends),
I have the Cats Can Fly LP on cassette (from its heyday... I was in
elementary school!) and clean LP (I scored last year for $1).
Listening to it, I was struck at how 9 of the 10 songs on it could
have been singles... They only released the first three off the album,
in running order.
They also appeared on an episode of Thrill of a Lifetime, CTV's wish-
granting TV show, when a high school graduating class of 6 somewhere
in the Prairies wrote in requesting a prom to remember. CCF were
corralled into playing an arena for the 6 (although the party
eventually grew).
I'm surprised you don't like 'em, Jaimie... They fit right into '80s
CanCon, and wouldn't be out of place in a rotation including
Zappacosta, Sherry Kean, the Parachute Club, mid-80s FM and the
like.... Worst Canadian album ever made? I have a few vanity presses
that would cause your skin to run for permanent vacation in Bermuda,
forget crawl. And there must be a major label one or two... S;^)
A sudden urge to rummage through my record collection, S;^D
