He invented the Infinite Guitar. There is a classified ad in the back of issue No.5 of Shades magazine (August 1979) that says the following: "FLIVVA'S album (sympathetic ear), a limited Dog 001 release, it still available at Sam's, Records on Wheels, Record Peddler, Millwheel, Canadian Spaces, Beachside Records Works and specially Cheap Thrills (Phil says buy here!). Peter Goddard said it was "a stunning work", "classy and controlled decadence". John Heimbecker, CKMS FM called it "rock and roll for the enlightened eighties", and "the best debut since QUEEN". Wilder Penfield referred to its "first rate songs" as "sardonic". SHADES No.4 encouraged Phil Schreibman to say lots fo things for himself. So don't miss it and then be sorry you did." This confirms that the name of the band is indeed Flivva, and the name of the album is Sympathetic Ear.
