Gordie Uranus And The Universe (Fear Of The Night Single)

   Gordie Uranus and The Universe were a short lived band from Ottawa, Ontario Canada, that were around in 1979. I couldn't find much on them but this appears to have been their only release. Sorry my sleeve pic isn't the greatest; my scanner had trouble with the one sided, reflective sleeve so I took the picture with my phone. I found a bunch of names listed as being members but as to the accuracy or who played what I can't say. I'll list them below; if anyone could help fill in the blanks, it would be most appreciated.
