-Artist / Group: A Foot In Coldwater

 -Mini bio: A Foot In Coldwater is a Canadian progressive rock band formed from the surviving members of 1960's Canadian prog-rock band, Nucleus, Toronto rock band, Leather and Toronto rock band Island (itself from the remains of Leather).

- After an audition organized by Nucleus members Bob Horne, Hughie Leggat and Danny Taylor with Island members Alex Machin and Paul Naumann, a new five-piece band was formed and they found a record deal with Daffodil owner, Frank Davies who came up with the name A Foot In Cold Water.

-A Foot In Cold Water recorded their self-titled debut album and from that album spun off the band's first single (Make Me Do) Anything You Want which made Canada's Top 25 charts.                                                                                               

-While A Foot In Coldwater never charted in the USA they were popular in Canada and released several Canadian only hit singles some of which were: (Make Me Do) Anything You Want (1972; Canada only long version @ 5:05), (Isn't Love Unkind) In My Life (1972; released with an ultra-rare picture sleeve), Lady True (1972), How Much Love Can You Take (1973), So Long (1973), (Make Me Do) Anything You Want (a 1974 reissue of their 1972 hit with a running time of just 2:59), I Know What You Need (1974), Midnight Lady (1975) and Keep A Candle Burning (1976). There may be others, but these are the ones we're aware of.

-Daffodil Records due to financial troubles in spite of several successful Canadian bands on their rooster would have to plead bankruptcy leaving the band looking for a new label.

-The band had one final kick-at-the-can in 1977 when Anthem (Rush's label) signed them and released one album titled Breaking Through on Anthem ANR-1-1008 from which was spun just one very rare single titled Breaking Through (1977; Anthem ANS-002)

-However, Anthem was more interested in Rush did little to promote A Foot In Cold Water and the band folded shortly after the release of their one-and-only Anthem single, Breaking Through. 

-Hughie Leggat would go on to form Thunderoad with brother Gordon followed by their more successful band, Private Eye which itself would later evolve into the self-titled band, Leggat who would enjoy some success on the Canadian Capitol record label. 

-Side one: (Make Me Do) Anything You Want

-(Make Me Do) Anything You Want (5:05) written by band members Paul Naumann and Danny Taylor is a mid-tempo, melodic progressive-rock classic with fine vocals from Alex Machin, excellent guitar work from Paul Naumann and Hughie Leggat including a good solo and great  accompaniment from the rest of the band.

-(Make Me Do) Anything You Want would be re-released in 1974 truncated to a much shorter version @ 2:59 on Daffodil 1058 in Canada and Elektra E-45224 in the United States. We have never seen a commercial copy of Elektra E-45224 and wonder if it was only released as a white-label promo in the United States.

-Alone Together written by Paul Naumann is a mid-tempo progressive rock number.

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwhelming.
