Come To Daddy EP by Aphex Twin - "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" &c. Pretty wild. And of course, Slates by The Fall and Sprial Scratch by the Buzzcocks. Two essentials. How about the Big Black EP called Headache?

― Dave M., Wednesday, 28 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

More votes for the Fall's Slates and the Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch. And add Luna's Slide, Throwing Muses Chains Changed and the Fat Skier, Mekons FUN 90.

Inevitable choice, I guess, since it's my favourite. Lotsa other good ones already cited above.

I've always felt that 12" EPs should be classified as something else entirely. 'Cause they're not exactly "extended", are they?

Hmm, somehow in this thread's five-year existence, which as an ILM newcomer I've only just come to be aware of, no one has mentioned anything by Guided by Voices. Hell, Bob's put out at least a dozen, at least a few have to be good! Fast Japanese Spin Cycle or Sunfish Holy Breakfast will do nicely here.
