Peter sent me this mystery way back just before I got
married last year and went on a 6 week honeymoon.
Well I just found again in the dark recesses of my inbox
and here it is.
The mystery is does anyone out there know anything about
this band and this single. I did manage to find a video of the
single but nothing much else.
Released in 1984, recorded in Sydney.
So any recollections will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Owen, do you know the artist, her web site doesnt mention arvo
No, sorry. All I did was google the names on the label and recognised the face. Her CV states she is/was also a singer so I'm pretty sure it's her, despite the lack of an Arvo reference.
As for the other half, I'm guessing Roy Nicolson is the same one from http://www.uproarmusic.biz/ which fits the producer/singer duo bill nicely.
Perhaps you could email either/both of them and ask for the story? It's a curio, for sure!
Cheers!
They also had an Lp called "Luna" and a 7" for "Picture in the Paper". All my copies are promo only stamped, I guess not many sold as I never heard of them at the time and was a slave to Countdown, Smash Hits, etc... well, I was 10 in 1984.
Hey, great blog you have here!
I wondered if you had an album by an obscure Adelaide band the Spikes, called "Colour in a Black Forest"? It's long out of print, and my original copy from the 80's is beat.
Not me sorry havent heard of them even, anyone else?
Here's an interview with their vocalist, and a short bio:
