b/w - Secret Service
I think this should have a pic sleeve but it's lacking in that department.
Iva (Ivor) Twydell was born in Luton & grew up in Dunstable. He was the drummer for After The Fire (1977 - 79) but quit due to personal reasons.
Iva Explains himself in an interview from 1982 here
Whilst working at the Brixton Dole office (anyone else remember that depressing buiding on Coldharbour lane?) he continued to write / record culminating in the release of 2 LP's
Secret Service - Banana Records 1981
Duel - Redsky Records 1982
The players on this 45 were
Iva Twydell (voc guitar keyboard) now can be found here (scroll a bit)
Andy Balmer (guitar)
Tony Hudson (bass) ex Alwyn Wall Band
Nick Brotherwood (drums) ex Alwyn Wall Band also Iva's successor in ATF
Graham Noon (keyboard)
Finally; Secret service is the better of the 2 tracks to these ears
