Test Patterns for Living was the first release, an EP, by the Toronto-based new wave band Blue Peter. Released in 1979, it included the single "Factory Living", which helped the band get their first radio airplay on CFNY. The song "Same Old Place", later appeared on the compilation album, The Best of Ready Volume 1 :: 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection, and in 2009 was included on the soundtrack for the vampire/rock and roll movie Suck; the latter event led to Blue Peter performing in 2009 at the Toronto International Film Festival at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, for the film's premiere.
