@Andrewjn15 - Wow... it's been 31 years since I heard this song while hanging out at UofG. Knew it would show up eventually on the internet. Thanks for posting. This should have been a Juno or Grammy or better!
What a trip man!!

CFNY-FM - The Spirit of Radio! MAN What a trip! WHat a find! I have been looking for this song since I first heard in back in the UofG in ''79. Absolutely excellent song. I love the Brian May lick @ 3:50. This is one of the keepers from the CFNY days when they were in the attic with Marsden. I am off to amazon to get this. I am also looking for other great tunes from the Eclectic Spirit show... one was a song that started off with drips of water that slowly turned to waves on the beach.

I think there are at least two different recorded versions of this. Was it ever an actual disc?
Love the guitar work at 3:50 - reminds me of Fripp stuff on Eno's 'Before and After Science'!

Right you are -- Canadian radio played basically a home demo of it for 6 months, then El Mocambo Records gave us a few grand to re-record it ("Toronto Calling," ElMo Records # 759, 1980. Sometimes on eBay) The guitar bit is played with an eBow, which mimics the sustain of Frippertonics. Best -- Andrew + Darrell

Holy crap, I have this on vinyl my daughter loves it and makes me play it all the time. Please say it's available digitally. The pics on the sleeve were shot at the old Zing burger place on Victoria Park in Scarborough Ontario that was finally torn down a few years ago.
