FANCY That…

Initially formed as a studio outfit by seasoned producer Mike Hurst, Fancy scored with their very first single, a Glam Rock cover of The Troggs’ ‘Wild Thing’, which reached No. 14 in the US charts in 1974.

This prompted the formation of a proper band, which duly recorded two albums, Wild Thing and Something To Remember, yielding a second Top 20 hit in the US with ‘Touch Me’.

Cherry Red now represent the rights to Fancy’s catalogue, which include some previously unissued live recordings.

FOXY FRIENDS

Noosha Fox and friends injected some sophisticated glamour into the UK charts of the mid-1970s. Fox‘s ‘Only You Can’ peaked at No. 3 while ‘S-S-S Single Bed‘ peaked one place lower. ‘If I Point At The Moon’, taken from their 1975 self-titled album, is a lilting, sublime pop ditty that sounds remarkably timeless. The song is featured in the US drama mini-series A Friend Of The Family, which aired recently on the Peacock network.
