With their pulsating version of the Troggs' Wild Thing , Fancy brought a '60s garage anthem into the disco age. The 1974 debut by these UK session musicians (fronted on that smash by Penthouse Pet Helen Court) features Wild Thing ; its follow-up hit Touch Me , and the rest of this sultry dance classic!

more than just another wild thing
Fancy placed two singles in the Top 20 during Autumn 1974, "Wild Thing" and "Touch Me". Their version of "Wild Thing" was fresh and raunchy, "Touch Me" and the rest of this debut album deliver in an equally satisfying way. They rock with an erotic charge and deserved more of an audience than they ever got. Although the band was from England, they would have fit right in with naughty Southern rockers like Black Oak Arkansas. "Touch Me" and "Love For Sale" are especially provocative, and when Anne Kavanagh sings on the album closer "Three hot guys and one cool chick are gonna make you feel good", they had delivered on that promise. Despite the hits, this LP did not reach the Top 200 Albums chart, Fancy released one more album and vanished. Their nasty blues would have been a breath of fresh air in the weak pop scene of the mid-to-late 70's, but the public missed out. Grab a copy before this CD disappears.

Good gift for any Fancy or Modern Talking fan. Music is easy to listen to, very catchy phrases. If you like Fancy, this is a good one to have.
