Masterswitch (Action Replay single)

Masterswitch were a London based five piece that formed in 1976. Band members were; Jimmy Edwards, (vocals) Ray Simonee,(guitar) Steve Wilkes, (guitar) Mark Steed, (bass) and Martin Lee (drums).
This was their only release, and what a release it was, a real classic! Unfortunately, due to many of the usual reasons, 1978 saw Masterswitches end.
I found some info on WIKIPEDIA that said: Jimmy and Ray went on to join Time UK with former The Jam drummer Rick Buckler. After three singles they split, although Jimmy and Buckler formed the short-lived Sharp with Buckler's ex-Jam band mate Bruce Foxton. It looks as though, Detour, or one of their affiliated labels is releasing Masterswitches unreleased LP. I couldn't actually find it for sale but for more band info, and info on the LP, you can look HERE .
