Drummer Ricky 'Rocket' Goldstein left to join Sham 69 and played on Sham`s later hits. Guitarist Wally Hacon went off to work with Wreckless Eric, for whom he wrote the single 'Broken Doll' (later covered by Sir Cliff Richard), whilst Bobby Collins had a spell as bass player in Holly and The Italians.
The 'Walking with the radio on' album was eventually given a release in Japan in 2000 by Base Records (and a later UK release in 2003 by Angel Air Records).
With renewed vigour, lead vocalist and songwriter Dave Philp re-assembled
The Automatics in 2000 and recorded the Automatics "2" album with top L.A.
producer Jim Wirt. "2" was released in Japan by Base Records in 2001 and
promoted by a series of Japanese dates. Another album of "Rarities" from
their early days was issued by Base Records the same year.
In 2002, Swedish label Diapazam Records coupled together 2 early tracks
and released the 7" vinyl single "Wild One"/ "Like a moth into a flame".
2003 saw the band release the 'Forty Virgins In The Afterlife' album.
The album was released on Base Records in Japan and also had a release
in Germany on Trash 2001 Records. It had the added bonus of a guest appearance
from the Sex Pistols` Steve Jones, who played guitar on the tracks 'Trash'
and 'Peace on Earth', and was supported by a Japanese tour in 2004.
Dave Philp has been vigorously writing and recording over the last
few years and has just launched the brand new Automatics album 'Britannia'....
a more musically varied album than the regular Automatics sound with a
distinct British theme running through the songs. Guests on the 'Britannia'
album include Steve Jones (Sex Pistols), Ian McCallum (Stiff Little Fingers),
Mick Rossi (Slaughter & the dogs), Michael Des Barres (Silverhead,
Detective, Power station), Jim Wirt and others.
Former BBC Radio One deejay Mike Read nominated The Automatics`
"Britannia" album his 'album of the week' during the first week of September
2006 on his Big L Radio (formerly Radio London) show and "England
Expects" entered the 'Big L Fab 40' charts at # 23 on 3rd Sept. 2006, eventually
peaking at # 19.
"Old River Thames" from the Automatics`
"Britannia" album is released as a single on 27th Nov. 2006. Also included
on the single is a new, re-mixed version of "Trash"
(from the 2003 album"Forty Virgins in the Afterlife"), with guitar by the
Sex Pistols` Steve Jones, plus a hitherto
unreleased track "Wonderful Day" (featuring
Paul McCartney`s current guitarist, Brian Ray).
