Various ‎– Street To Street Volume Two [LP] (1982, Open Eye Records)

Open Eye Records was a label founded by Mike Knowler aka Noddy Knowler, a Liverpool DJ starting at the age of 17 in 1969 mainly playing soul music, being an early exponent of house music in the UK. Between 1978 and 1985 also made his name as a recording engineer and record producer working with Pete Burns (Dead or Alive), Echo and the Bunnymen and OMD. 

Egypt For Now formed in 1980 by Yorkie and Mike Head (ex-The Dance Party), also featuring Paul Codman (ex-Mutants, Geisha Girls), Ken "Mossy" (The Pale Fountains, Shack), Tom "Jock" Whelan (The Pale Fountains, Shack). Systems were formed by John 'Strange' Hawkins (Vocals, Bass), later in This Island Earth, Kevin Chapman (Guitar), Tony Elson (Drums) and Mike Reed (Keyboards) . They released two 7” between 1980 and 1981. Chinese Religion released only a 7” in 1981, ‘My Motive’, in Per Chance Records.

Games were a pioneering three-piece synth-pop outfit, formed in 1980 and consisting of Brendan Coyle (synthesisers, percussion, vocals), Colin Hughes (synthesisers, percussion, organ, vocals) and Steve Knott (synthesisers, guitar, vocals), from Wirral, UK. The same year, they self-released their first 7" single 'First Law Of Games' followed by a contribution of the two tracks "Unrest In The Real World" and "The Song" to the 'Street To Street Volume Two' LP compilation on Liverpool's Open Eye Records in 1981. Then the band fell apart with Steve moving on under the Games moniker including new band members. Their 7" single 'Dance This Way / Love Canal' still saw its release in 1981. Brendan and Colin moved on as Zephyr In The Swamp, Brendan also played in Some Detergents, and Colin in Sense Of Vision. [SOURCE: DISCOGS]
