The Cheetahs came from Penicuik just outside Edinburgh and were fairly prolific gig wise in and around the Scottish capital. The band were Joe Donkin (vocals), John Roberts Dobson (guitar), Andrew Allan (bass), Droo Farmer (drums) and Nasty Phil (harmonica).
This single on Bruce Findlay's Zoom label was the band's only release and was quite a popular record locally if memory serves me. Of the three songs on offer 'Radio-Active' is the winner though the other two tracks, the pub-punk of 'The Only One' and the more straight ahead punk of 'Minefield' are also solid efforts.
After The Cheetahs split, drummer Droo and guitarist John formed the band Epsilon alongside Robert Sandall (formerly of Blunt Instrument and London Zoo) and Joe Telford (formerly of Matt Vinyl & The Decorators and Insect Bites).
