Blue peter radio silence
Radio Silence is the first full-length album by the Toronto-based new wave band Blue Peter. Released in 1980, it contained the moderately successful single "Video Verite", as well as the eponymous single "Radio Silence", known for its simple "dying keyboard" riff. The album ranked 60th in CFNY's Top 80 Albums of 1980.

Re-issue
In 2007, Radio Silence was re-issued by Universal Music Canada on compact disc, combined with Test Patterns for Living (originally released as a seven inch by Ready Records in 1979). In addition, the re-issue also includes two bonus tracks, a single edit of "Video Verite" and a live concert recording of 'Take Me to War", recorded in 1983 in Montreal.
The band lineup for the Test Patterns for Living tracks included Paul Humphrey on vocals and keyboards, Chris Wardman on guitar, Geoff McOuat on bass, and Ron Tomlinson on drums. The band lineup for the live version of Take Me to War was the final incarnation of Blue Peter, featuring Humphrey, Wardman, Jason Sniderman on keyboards, Ric Joudrey on bass and Owen Tennyson on drums.
