Blue Peter: Radio Silence (1980)

 
Radio Silence was the first full-length release from Toronto's Blue Peter. The year 1980 was pre-MTV, and although I recall seeing music videos on CityTV's The New Music, videos seemed to be few and far between. So, there are only live clips and plain audio files for this album on Youtube.

The title track was a big single, as I recall. Clearly, the band was beginning its shift in sound. It's smoother, more new wave, and less punk. The keyboards feature prominently.
