Thanks for sharing this rare EP with us.
The Red Ball Jets were from Milwaukee. The original members were guitarist Mark Schneider (ex Short wave), Martin Krohne, Molli Putz (vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar, flute) Rob McCuen (drums, ex Short wave and futur Plasticland, Rob McCuen and the ruins).
Here's an article from way back 1981

The bassist (blue stripe shirt) is David Nelson aka David Teague. David went on to play with Alexander O'Neal and now lives in Singapore where he is known as Teague Bass.
hi Jo! thanks for the informations!
FYI: Rob McCuen was not in Short Wave. The drummer for Short Wave was John Gaskell (before he became the XCleaver's drummer). Short Wave was Mark Schneider, Robert Fisher, Martin Miller, and John Gaskell. Robert Fisher (bass, vocals) was a founding member of the band that became Mott the Hoople. Mark Schneider and Martin Miller founded the original Red Ball Jets in 1975. It morphed into a band called JetPak, which included Martin Krohne. Then, after JetPak, Mark Schneider re-formed The Red Ball Jets in 1979 and recruited Molli, Dave Nelson, and Rob.
