ELEVATOR

 

Purportedly a one-off Punk label.  Elevator issued an EP, 'Mechanical Man', supposedly by Mechanical Man, in 1978.  The catalogue number was NICE-1, and it seems to have been the label's only release.  'Mechanical Man' were really American 'Punk' band Devo, and it appears that the four tracks on the EP were early demos by that band which Virgin Records put out as a kind of pretend bootleg.  The picture sleeves credited Devo, whereas the labels do not.  The scan was taken from an old e-bay auction.
