It’s probably splitting hairs to refer to this as either the sole album from the group The Way We Live, or the first Tractor album. The album is really both, and neither. In any case the original is impossible to find today.

Steve Clayton and Jim Milne, the long-standing collaboration that also spawned Tractor, got their start with these mostly simple but very engaging three-track recordings commissioned by John Peel way back in 1971. The ‘band’ was really just the duo of school-friends Clayton and Milne, backed at various times by various acquaintances in order to fill the occasional gig between school work and other activities. One-time band manager John Brierley had built a studio in his home where Clayton and Milne spent several months recording what would become this album. Among those who received a demo copy was the late DJ John Peel, who was at the time working to develop his Dandelion Records label. Peel liked what he heard and convinced the duo to travel to Birmingham in the spring of 1972 to re-record the demo at Spot Studios and on to then-Marquee Studios, which at the time was outfitted for eight-track recordings. The album was mixed there and released in 1972. By the time the album released the band was already working with Peel to develop their sound and had settled on the new name Tractor. The Way We Live’s only release received critical acclaim but little commercial success, and the original vinyl is one of those almost mythical rarities that most mere mortals will never get their hands on!
