I had no idea that there were quite so many variations of this, but hey, its ZTT so I should have known better! ...However the variation I bought - a 7" in the standard pic cover, the difference being that when you played it there were no vocals - yes, an instrumental mix.
I vaguely seem to that I read somewhere that there was some ZTT ruse that a very limited number of such instrumental copies had been randomly mixed in with the standard version.
Although at the time I was just rather underwhelmed & disappointed that I had an inferior copy that was missing the vocals!
...Many years later after my record player had broken and it appeared that nobody was interested in vinyl anymore and such treasures were worth mere pennies, I stored my 7" collection in plastic crates (theoretically secure as they had a lid) in my shed for several years.
Unfortunately when I eventually went to reinvestigate them before I moved house, not only did I discover a leak directly above the crate but also the lid had a crack in it and the entire collection was effectively 100% waterlogged & ruined, as they all stuck together as they dried out - including said instrumental P-Machinery. So sadly they are now all landfill somewhere :-(
Can anybody confirm the story of the instrumental 7"ers... or is my foggy memory playing me up? -
One of the best songs ever recorded, no matter which of the gazillion of versions you decide to listen to. -
For anyone (else) out there who wants to know if that 3:50 version of p:Machinery is the 7" version or the original LP version, here's the key: play to about 1:12, and then listen very carefully for a sliding guitar sound. If it's there, then the version is the 7". Otherwise, it is the original version found on the vinyl LP.

As featured during the basketball game in Miami Vice - episode ‘the fix’ - season 2 from 1986 🧐 ... 🍹🚨😎 -
I have this one as 7" ZTT ZTAS12 1985 as a clear vinyl, fitted in a clear plastic sleeve.
