ADDITIONAL INFOS:
IN THE LATE 70'S WINDSOR'S MUSIC SCENE WAS BORING. EVERY BAND 
PLAYED "COCAINE"; J. GEILS WAS CONSIDERED "CUTTING EDGE". 
HOWEVER, UNDERGROUND, IN VARIOUS BASEMENTS AND REC ROOMS, 
ELAD, COMA JOE, DAVE O'GORMAN AND FRANK CARLONE WERE HONING 
THEIR CRAFT. THEIR INSPIRATIONS AND INFLUENCES INCLUDED NEW 
YORK DOLLS, LOU REED, RAMONES, DEAD BOYS AND BLACK SABBATH. 
ELAD AND COMA JOE WERE STILL COMPLETELY DEVOID OF PUBIC HAIR 
WHEN THEY HAD MASTERED EVERY IGGY AND MC5 RIFF KNOWN TO MAN. 
IN 1978 ELAD JAMMED WITH THE LATE FRED SONIC SMITH AND THE 
REST OF THE SONIC RENDEZVOUS BAND AT THE OLD MIAMI CLUB IN 
DETROIT. WHEN CARLONE SAW ELAD TRADING LEADS WITH FORMER 
MC5ER HE KNEW THAT HE OWED HIMSELF, AND ALL OF MANKIND, A 
DUTY TO GET ELAD INTO A BAND. DUE TO HIS INHABILITY TO PLAY 
AN INSTRUMENT, CARLONE VOLUNTEERED TO HANDLE THE VOCALS. COMA 
JOE WAS A NATURAL FOR BASS; HE AND ELAD HAD BEEN JAMMING 
TOGETHER FOR YEARS. O`GORMAN ENTERED THE PICTURE AND PROVIDED 
THE JET FUELLED BACK BEAT TO THEIR AURAL ATTACK. THEY GOT 
TOGETHER IN ELAD'S BASEMENT AND THE SPY'S WERE BORN. THEY 
JAMMED. THEY CAME. THEY WENT. THEY ARGUED ABOUT THE SPELLING 
OF THEIR NAME. THEY CONQUERED VENUES IN WINDSOR AND DETROIT. 
THEY WERE RAW ENERGY; A MATCH LIGHTNING FIVE GALLON CANS OF 
GASOLINE. WE WERE JARRED BY SEXUAL FREEDOM OF ELAD'S SEARING 
GUITAR SOLOS; COMA JOE'S BASS RATTLED OUR TAILBONES; 
O`GORMAN'S HYPERACTIVE DRUMMING PROPELLED OUR BODIES. 
INTELLECTUALLY, THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED UTOPIANS. THEIR 
VISION WAS FILTERED THROUGH THEIR WORKING CLASS ETHIC AND 
EXPERIENCES. THEY HURLED THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, EMOTIONS AT US 
WITH THE MUSCULARITY THAT WE CRAVED. THEY FUELLED WINDSOR'S 
SUMMER OF FUN IN 1980. THEIR SHOWS WERE EVENTS; SWEATY 
YOUTHFUL COMMUNIONS. PERSPIRATION DRENCHED DANCE FLOORS. 
GIRLS BECAME FRIENDLY. GUYS BECAME BEARABLE. UNFORTUNATELY 
THE INTENSITY COULDN'T BE MAINTAINED. THE AIM WAS TO HAVE FUN; 
WHEN THE AGENTS AND PROMOTERS STARTED NOTICING, THE FUN DRAINED 
AWAY. THE SPY'S BROKE UP IN LATE 1980. ELAD AND COMA JOE MELTED 
WITH THE HARDTOPS AND FORMED THE NELSONS, WINDSOR'S FIRST 
SUPERGROUP. O'GORMAN TRANSFERRED HIS VOLTAGE TO THE DRY HEAVES. 
CARLONE PICKED GUITAR AND SANG SONGS ABOUT JOHN HINCKLEY AND 
HAND GRENADES IN THE RONALD REAGAN STORY. TIME PASSED. MEMORIES 
SWEETENED. THE SPY'S ARE REMEMBERED FOR THEIR BUTT KICKING ENERGY, 
THEIR MUSICANSHIP AND THE INTERPLAY WITH THEIR AUDIENCE. THEIR 
RECORDED FARE CANNOT COMPARE WELL TO THE MEMORIES OF THEIR LIVE 
SHOWS. HOPEFULLY, THROUGH THE VEILS OF THE BAD RECORDING, YOU MAY 
BE ABLE TO GLIMPSE THEIR WIT AND ENERGY.
