About
Mechanical Man is a semi-official EP by New Wave musicians Devo, released in 1978. It includes four 4-track basement demos by the band, recorded before they were signed to a record contract with Warner Bros. Opinions differ as to the legitimacy of the EP, with some sources considering it a bootleg. "Club Devo" webmaster Michael Pilmer states that it was a "fake bootleg" produced by Virgin Records and included with some copies of the band's debut album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in the United Kingdom. The EP was a 7" single housed in a plain sleeve that came in a variety of colors including pink, blue, red, yellow and green. Most EP sleeves were numbered on the back, although the exact number of EPs pressed is unknown.
