Tarney/Spencer Band formed as a rock music duo in London in 1975 with Spencer on drums and percussion and backing vocals; and Tarney on lead vocals, guitars (lead, rhythm and bass), synthesisers and keyboards. Their first album, "Tarney and Spencer", was released in 1976 in the UK only, on the Bradley's Records label, and was co-produced with Dave Mackay. It features the Shadows' future member, Cliff Hall, on keyboards. The album was re-released on CD in 2003 by Sanctuary Records/Castle Communications with four bonus tracks.
