Blue Peter "Do the Robot"

To those unfamiliar, Blue Peter were an awesome Canadian pioneer new wave band. I lost their first album, and am currently seeking their track "Do the Robot." I figure if it exists, it exists here...

I don't have that song, sorry, but if you want "All Your Time" and/or "Don't Walk Past", let me know. Maybe those will make you feel better while you look for "Do the Robot"?

Yes, 6:13 I think. It's the F version. If you need it MP3'd let me know and I'll get it to you.
