The Spectrum quiz is the 4th in the series of Sunday quizzes I have organised for staff at a local cafe. There will be one more in this series & that one will focus on Max Merritt and the Meteors, who formed in Christchurch in the late fifties. Max and his band were one of the most important bands to come out of Christchurch in that era.

The answers:

1. 1969
2. Melbourne
3. I’ll Be Gone
4. They had some extra time in a recording session
5. Indelible Murtceps
6. People sat & listened to Spectrum. They needed to also be a band that people danced to. As Murtceps they used less gear making transporting equipment easier.
7. Brunswick St, Fitzroy (Melbourne)
8. Part of the ACU campus
9. Testimonial
10. Ariel
11. Lost Ragas; Field, See & Mason
12. Yes; often as Spectrum – Ariel with Glyn Mason in the band
