'True Life' / 'Everythings Technical' / 'You Better Hear' / 'Evening Radio' - 7" EP (Wax EAR 1 March 1978) SUPER RARE! Slight yellow on sleeve only! Vinyl has never been played! "RECORDED IN 1/2 HOUR, AT 8 QUID AN HOUR" It's the real deal. do not pass it up. You will never see another one of these in this shape. The Machines were not only Southend's first punk band, but also the first to release a record - the infamous 'True Life' EP on Wax Records. As punk trailblazers, shaking off the R & B paralysis that had gripped the towns music scene for so long, the bands time together really was an incendiary one. Together for barely a year, they managed to play a load of local shows that have long lived on in the collective Southend Punk subconscious, together with some historic gigs at legendary London venues such as The Roxy and Vortex punk clubs. The pressing on Wax was 1,000, however since then its turned up on different labels and all sorts of compilations all over the world e.g. It was released on a dayglo pink 7" in Japan , plus tracks have turned up on other comps and releases like these: 1. 'Killed By Death' LP #2 on Redrum in 1989, 2. 'True Life' on 7" and CD on Gecko 1996, 3. 'Bloodstains Across the U.K'. LP on Insekten in 1997, 4. 'Break the Rules' Volume 7 on CD Insekten in 1997, 5. 'Compilation CD Bloodstains Across the U.K' 1996, 6.' Killed By Death' on CD #2 Redrum 1996, 7. 'Every One A Classic CD! Volume 6 Punk, Mod, Powerpop' 2001.
