Background

Prior to working with Rick Shorter on the album, the group's single "If I Call You By Some Name" bw "Copper Penny" was produced by him. He wrote the A side which became a hit in Canada in January 1967. The single reached #6 on Toronto’s CHUM chart with single sales reaching 35,000. This raised their profile and after playing at the Café au Go Go, they attracted the right attention. An album deal was promptly done with the Verve record label. The group stayed in New York and went to Columbia Studios there to record some songs with Rick Shorter which included "Magic People" and "Think I Care".[2][3] The finished product which was released in released on July 1, 1967 was produced and arranged by Rick Shorter with help from The Paupers and under the production supervision of Jerry Schoenbaum and John Court.[4][5] The album would peak at #178.[6]

The album was released on CD in 2008 by Pacemaker with additional tracks.[7]
