The Joy LP and some of Jobson's spoken-word works I have, but I'm not familiar with the Rusty Egan release - could you post some details? Sounds interesting...

Yes FivetenFifteen.It is a 12" single called Rusty Egan The Twilight Zone it was released in 1983 on WEA.I believe it,s an instrumental record(I haven,t heard it in over 20 years).The writing on the jacket is done the same way as the Twilight Zone movie that came out around the same time,coincidence?I don,t know.
