Up to You (EP)
1982 EP by Blue Peter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Up to You was an EP by the Toronto-based new wave band Blue Peter. Released in 1982, it included the single "Chinese Graffiti",[2] which garnered the band their biggest radio exposure to date, winning a CASBY Award (then known as the "U-Knows") for Single of the Year.[3] In the past, "Chinese Graffiti" had been released as a single by the band on their own short-lived independent record label, AWOL Records, in 1981.[4] The EP ranked 29th on CFNY's Top 82 Albums of 1982,[5] and its success led to the following year's album, Falling being produced by Steve Nye.[6]
