Shadowfax (The Russians Are Coming)

As great as this record is; I'm surprised how little info regarding these guys is available. The record yields little; not even the band members names, anyone ?
 Shadowfax were a short lived London based outfit. To my knowledge, this was their only record; it was self-released on their own Risky records label. The single was only available at their gigs and via mail order from the band themselves. I have seen other records by a band, or bands of the same name; but I don't think it's the same band, but I could be wrong ? If this message board is accurate, sadly there's been allot of Death and tragedy involving a number of the band members, as well as people closely associated with the band.

happened onto this single on youtube and then found out it was posted to your blog after the fact (though I have been going to it off and on for years). I have to say I really really like this stuff, too bad there was never an album. When I couldn't find anymore info on the single I was really hoping that they made an album by another name after finding out about the US group with the same name, but I guess that was not meant to be.
