Toronto's Cats Can Fly were originally formed in 1982, your typical bar band covering whatever was hot on the pop and new wave charts at the time. The group consisted of David Ashley on lead vocals and bass, Mitchell James on guitars, drummer Eddie Zeeman and Peter Alexandre on keyboards.

Recorded at Edmonton's Park Lane Studio, they released their first single on Fountain Records, a cover of The Flower Pot Men's "Let's Go To San Fransisco."
