the condition that they replaced Marshall, but the offer was declined. The "I Spy" EP was released on Good Vibrations in July 1979. The four tracks on the EP were “I Spy”, “Genuine Reply”, “Sometimes” and “Ripped In Two”. The band embarked on a tour of England. Blair was sacked, later joining the Outcasts, with Matthews moving to bass. Rudi recorded a session for Northern Ireland’s Downtown Radio, which was broadcast in October 1979. The tracks recorded were “Time To Be Proud”, “Radio On”, “Claws and Clutches”, “The Pressure’s On”, “Who? You!” and “Excitement”. A television appearance on BBC2's Something Else in 1980 showcased the band's proposed next single on Good Vibrations, "The Pressure's On" and "Who? You!". Rudi's performance recorded in December 1979 captures the group performing two of their best tracks live in front of a studio audience of young Belfast punks. The two tracks were among Rudi’s best songs but the release of the single never happened and the band left the Good Vibrations label in frustration. The band recorded a session for Mike Read's BBC Radio 1 show The Evening Session at the end of April 1980. The tracks broadcast were “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy”, “The Pressure’s On”, “Time To Be Proud” and “Without You”. "Mike helped us a lot and we recorded a killer radio session for his show, which was easily the best thing we had done to date." (Brian Young, Rudi). A deal with Target Records was proposed, but failed with the label's demise. They were offered a deal with Ariola Records by Pete Waterman, but instead decided to sign with the Paul Weller-funded Jamming! label. “When I Was Dead” was released as a single by Jamming! Records in August 1981, with "Bewerewolf!” and “The Pressure’s On” on the B-side. "When I Was Dead EP is by far my fave Rudi record as it's perhaps the only one that actually sounds like a proper record - and turned out like we wanted it to!" (Brian Young, Rudi) In September, a session was recorded for the John Peel show. The tracks broadcast were “Crimson", "Tigerland", "When I Was Dead" and "Excitement". In November, "Crimson", "14 Steps", "Radio On" and "The Prince of Pleasure" were recorded in a session for broadcast on the Dave Fanning Show on RTE Radio 2. At the end of 1981, the band recorded "Toytown", "Frozen By Your Touch" and "Life" for
