Greg picked up the Bass. This lineup went into the studio at Melbourne State College in 1982 where they recorded The Secrets E.P. featuring "Cryin'", "More Of Your Lovin'", "Feel Pretty Good" & "Woman", produced by Greg Heenan. Billy Pinnell of EON FM, gave the E.P. plenty of air play, hoping the band would be picked up by a Record Company. This didnt eventuate, but it was played to Lobby Lloyde who invited the band down to Richmond Recorders to lay a few tracks down, with him at the control desk. The Secrets were being managed by Michael Watts. They appeared at many of the top venues in Melbourne as support act for: Real Life, Suzie Quatro, Goanna etc. Greg decided to call it quits and was replaced on Bass by Ed Krummins.The Secrets Chapter 4 :1983. The Secrets into the studio with Lobby Lloyde to record "Feel Pretty Good", "This Time", "Good Times/Bad Times" and "All The Way". Lobby had high hopes for the songs, but still couldnt place the band with a record company. By 1985 The Secrets, tired and disillusioned, had disbanded completely.The Secrets Chapter 5 :This chapter of "Secrets" began life as a '60's covers duo in 1996. Peter Rechter and Graham McCoy had both been playing music since the 1960's but got together when Peter needed a guitarist and Graham needed a gig.Their first gig was New Years Eve 1996, for which Graham had six weeks to learn 90 songs. During the next two years they honed their repertoire and many different RSLs and private functions.During this time they also began to include original material written by Peter and arranged by Graham. They were pleasantly surprised by the audiences' positive reactions to these songs; people getting up to dance and sing along to songs they hadn't previously heard! As a result they decided to record a number of songs for a CD to sell at gigs.One song, "My Game", took on a life of its own and set them in a different direction for most of 1999 and led to the development of "Secret Deals". Peter and Graham took long service leave from their respective teaching positions during Term 4 2000 and this gave them the opportunity to complete the CD now known as "Time Will Come".
