I Spy

VINYL FORMAT. After recording a track for Good Vibrations' double 7" Battle of the Bands on February 1, 1979, Rudi entered Belfast's Wizard Studios taping four songs that appeared in the last week of July on an EP which seemed about to be released by Polydor, but which finally emerged on the Good Vibrations label when the combo refused to replace GRAHAM MARSHALL with a different drummer as suggested by Polydor. The Buzzcockian guitar solo of "Genuine Reply," the chorus of "Ripped in Two" and the John Barry-esque intro to the title-track were the platter's most memorable moments. Although all four tunes were very convincing and could stay on your turntable for days.
