 -Artist / Group: Edward Bear

-Mini bio: Edward Bear, formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the late 1960's was named after the real name of "Winnie The Pooh" and comprised of Larry Evoy (vocals, drums), Danny Marks (guitar) and Paul Weldon (keyboards). They performed in Toronto's Yorkville scene until landing a recording contract with Canadian Capitol in 1969.

-Their first single "You, Me And Mexico" was released in February 1970 and was a huge hit in Canada, reaching #3 on the international charts and # 68 in the U.S.

-Their follow up-single from 1970 was Toe Jam / You Can't Deny It although a pair of excellent rockers, failed to make any kind of impression and dropped from sight soon after release.

-The band hit their stride again in 1972 with the release of their international hit "Last Song" which reached Billboard # 3 in December 1972 and again in 1973 when their single Close Your Eyes reached Billboard # 37.

-With a big line-up change in 1974, Edward Bear split and Larry Envoy went on to a successful solo career and is now retired from the music business; Danny Marks has continued a very successful career as a blues guitar performer both live and studio and Paul Weldon performs with a jazz combo and teaches at Seneca College in Toronto.

-In 1990 the original line-up were rehearsing in anticipation of a new studio recording but what ended up released was a 'best off' compilation with a few new songs thrown in for good measure.

-Titles:  Toe Jam / You Can't Deny It

-Toe Jam written by Evoy, Weldon and Marks is a sizzling mid-tempo rocker with hot guitar throughout from Danny Marks and fine keyboards from Paul Weldon and is essentially an instrumental with very little in the way of a vocal from Larry Evoy.... Classic Canadian rocker!

-You Can't Deny It written by Danny Marks is an excellent mid-tempo vocal rocker with excellent musical accompaniment from the band, gritty vocals from Larry Evoy and nice guitar from Danny Marks and hot keyboards solo from Paul Weldon. This 45 single is a different version of You Can't Deny It than the LP version.

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 overwheming.
