Career
In 1969 he moved to Ham in England and after forming his first band, Quartet, he became a studio drummer for acts such as Cliff Richard, Marvin and Farrar and Olivia Newton-John. Quartet recorded one album with Decca records which remains unreleased but two singles were released on Decca: "Joseph"/"Mama where did you fail" (1970) F13072 and "Now"/"will my lady come" (1970) F12974. During the 1970s, he was a house songwriter for ATV Music London.
In 1976 he was one half of Tarney-Spencer Band along with Alan Tarney (ex-James Taylor Move).
They signed a ten-album deal with A & M Records, but met with little success and after three album releases, the group disbanded and discontinued their contract with agreement by the record company. He then moved into record production and worked for many major labels as a freelance producer before moving to Perth.
In 1986 he bought the Sh-boom studios in Perth with co-owner Gary Taylor. Soon after, Hank Marvin bought his own studio within the Sh-boom complex, The Nivram studios.
During his career, Spencer has been involved in the performing, production and composing with various artists which has resulted in the sales of over 20 million records worldwide.
