Chris Wardman wrote the words and music and plays guitar, Paul Humphrey sings and plays keyboard, Geoff McOuat is on bass and Mike Bambrick on drums, with Kevin Doyle engineering and Jasper among the producers.
The album also carried "Video Verite", the other single and a modest success, and CFNY ranked Radio Silence 60th in its Top 80 Albums of 1980.
