Yes. According to Will somebody else in their friend group came up with the name. Will says he at first thought it meant that Ian was Echo and he was a bunnyman. He didn’t like that. But everybody liked the name so he said after that the drum machine was Echo to make sure he wasn’t seen as just a back up band member. That is the story in his memoir at least.

Far and away the best version
Love that "'Voyage to the bottom of the sea" drum machine 'motif' every three or four seconds, ethereal, ghostly and otherworldly .
@@VictorOctavian ...the drum machine was the 'original member called Echo' ..if I remember correctly.
@@VictorOctavian very good.....did they do any others with 'Echo' ?...by 1980 they were a four piece.

Bought this before 'Crocodiles' came out and its way better than the LP version
agree. Same with read it in books. The single version was great. Love the Teardrop Explodes version too.
Best version

The heaviest thing I've ever witnessed was this band playing "Heaven Up Here" RIP Pete. Thank you for sharing.
still have this on single classic their best track.
Heard in The Americans. Great band, great show
not this version
Love this song so friggin much!
i loves this song as a kid
'Read it In Books' was the first songs i ever learned for a band
They started at the top and just got better
Great memories of Rodney playing this on KROQ.
never heard this version before-but it really became an instant favourite! :)
B side is class too
More talented than given credit for in my opinion. That acoustic guitar just rips into you.
Only 37,000 views. Good grief.
I have an OP of this, complete with paper sleeve.
¿Puedes oirlo?
Can you hear it?

Caras ardiendo, corazones latiendo
Faces burning, hearts beating
No nos queda ningún lugar para correr
Nowhere left for us to run

Don't fear ther Reaper!
Is this the recording they made with Echo, the famous drum machine?
Christine Marie audibly so. Pete De Freitas joined slightly later to contribute ever after (the second single "Rescue" for starters) :)
Yes it was with a drum machine but it was never called ‘Echo’.
Yes. According to Will somebody else in their friend group came up with the name. Will says he at first thought it meant that Ian was Echo and he was a bunnyman. He didn’t like that.
