The BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel described "Where's Captain Kirk?" as... "the best Star Trek associated song".
The first weekly independent chart was published on 19 January 1980, with Spizzenergi's "Where's Captain Kirk" topping the singles chart, and Adam and the Ants' Dirk Wears White Sox topping the album chart.
Consisting of brothers Epic Soundtracks (real name Kevin Paul Godfrey) and Nikki Sudden (real name Adrian Nicholas Godfrey) two Solihull based teenagers, plus Biggles Books (Richard Earl), Phones Sportsman (David Barrington), John "Golden" Cockrill and Jowe Head (Stephen Bird), the band cut the single "Read About Seymour" as their debut in 1977, soon after the brothers left Solihull School (also home of Spizzenergi).
BBC Radio DJ John Peel said that "Spizzenergi went on to record the only Star Trek tribute worthy of the Enterprise's jukebox" in reference to "Where's Captain Kirk?" on a Star Trek television special.
