Martha and the Muffins "Echo Beach" ep

This was the single for "Echo Beach". Martha and the Muffins recorded the song in 1979 and it came out in 1980 as a single to the "Metro Music" LP. DinDisc released the record. Dindisc was an indie label in the UK that was an arm of Virgin Records and was responsible for bands like the Buzzcocks, Human League and Ultravox. The beach referred to in the song is Sunnyside Beach and the song was inspired by Ultravox's "Hiroshima, Mon Amour".

The B-Side was "Teddy the Dink". This song was later released on the "Trance and Dance" which was the second

record that would come out also in 1980. The song was a huge hit and was re-released as a 30 year anniversary single with a different B-Side.
