Okay, hands up, who here knows/remembers Made For T.V.'s "So Afraid Of The Russians"?

Oh, they used to play that on WRSU or WPRB or one of those NJ college stations I used to listen to all the time. Great song! Haven't thought about it in a long time.

I'd Like to feed the children/Find a cure for disease/Rebuild the cities/and Plant a lot of trees/I'd like to help the sick/Build factories/Give money to students/hospitals and galleries//But, I'm afraid of the Russians/I can't sleep at night/So afraid of the Russians/Afraid we've got to fight//I'd like to go to space/Clean up rivers and lakes/Put everyone to work/ whatever it takes/But, I'm afraid of the Russians/I can't sleep at night/So afraid of the Russians/Afraid we've got to fight/They've got ships at sea/They've got missiles in the air/Tanks on the border of Europe/and spies everywhere/

Produced by John Cale. Who knew?

Produced by freaking John Cale??! No way. He even played guitar & synth on it? *faints* I live for these kinds of music trivia discoveries!

Yeah I was really wondering who the hell that band was because I don't believe there was an album and I never heard another thing from them again. They're not in the 1985 edition of the Trouser Press Record Guide, either, which is worrisome.

Okay, apparently an album appeared in 1987 called "Spies Everywhere". I just bought it but it cost me a pretty penny. Also I think it's worth noting that this album does not appear in the 1990 Trouser Press Record Guide either.
