"I'll Be Gone," written by Mike Rudd, was Spectrum's debut single, released in January 1971, and became a #1 hit in Australia. The band, formed in 1969, initially played covers before developing original material, and although they never repeated the success of this song, "I'll Be Gone" remains a significant part of Australian rock history.
