This
song was the first that Paul McCartney recorded in 1979 when he returned to
his farm in Scotland to record privately.He had wanted to test his equipment out and this was the
end result.The album
McCartney II came out of the 20 songs recorded in that session but Check My
Machine wasn't included.The
initial CD issue of the album did, however, feature it and is included on
the re-mastered CD as a bonus track. It was released in 1980 as the
B-Side of "Waterfalls".
