Which Way You Goin' Billy?, released in 1969, was the first album from Vancouver, British Columbia band The Poppy Family.

Contents

They scored their biggest hit with title track, "Which Way You Goin' Billy?", which went to #1 in both Canada and Ireland and #2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Cash Box Top 100 in the US. The album has yet to be released on modern formats and remains a rare vinyl collectible.

The song "Of Cities and Escapes" was prominently sampled in the song "Madness" by Hip-Hop group Deltron 3030 on their self titled debut album.
