Four-track 7" on green vinyl. Individual hand painted sleeves. Limited to 500 copies worldwide. Includes poster. Part of the Optic Sevens 5.0 Reissue Series. Originally released in 1986 on Australian label Voyeur Records. Even As We Speak is an indie band from Sydney, Australia, formed in the mid-1980s by founding members Matthew Love (guitar, banjo, vocals) and Mary Wyer (vocals, guitar), who were later joined by Rob Irwin (bass), Anita Rayner (drums, banjo, mandolin), Julian Knowles (guitar, keyboards, production), and Paul Clarke (guitar, vocals). After a series of vinyl releases on Australian independent labels including Phantom Records, and success on the Australian indie scene, they came to the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel who started to play the band's "Goes So Slow" Phantom Records release on his show. This brought them to the attention of UK audiences and began a relationship with UK indie label Sarah Records. The band released several singles and an album on Sarah Records, three of which reached the Top Five of the Melody Maker and New Musical Express UK independent music charts in 1992 and 1993.
