OK, back from the attic, Eclipse 7" - She's Gone/Hard Day's Night, MCR Records (Birmingham UK) MCR 103. Has the band members listed which I can post later if anybody is interested.

Yes Please.
So is a different band to this one?

Maybe not... will check when I'm back home.

It's the same band, minus Cedric Allen, and the 7" was from 1980. MCR stands for Motor City Rhythm now I've looked at the label.

who played keyboard on vinyard anybody, as its never mentioned

There were live reggae bands every Friday at the Band On The Wall in Manchester when I lived there in the 80s. Roots Imension and Black Symbol i remember from there, but there were loads of others. Will see what I can track down of those times.

Beshara were another band who performed there.
Below is the Band On The Wall website.

There have been loads of good shows there over the years, including the mighty Prince Far I with Suns Of Arqa way back when. Beshara - wish I'd seen that one.
