Tractor's self-titled album was originally released in 1972 on BBC Radio One DJ John Peel's Dandelion Records label. Previously, this duo - guitarist/vocalist Jim Milne and drummer/percussionist Steve Clayton - were known as the Way We Live, and under that name they recorded A Candle for Judith for Dandelion in late 1970 (it was released in January 1971).
