3 stars The songs from this EP were originally to be part of the "Fingerprince" album released in 1977. From the same sessions and all, but that would have pushed the time of that album well over 50 minutes, and we're talking vinyl days. So they released it 2 years later in 1979 as a 16 minute EP with different cover art than is shown here. It was re-issued in 1981 and with the album cover shown here, and once more in 1985 with again different cover art. When cds arrived they combined it with "Fingerprince" where it belonged, and that was 1987.

Yes as a stand alone piece this does feel a little underwhelming, I will admit that, but the songs "Melon Collie Lassie" and "Walter Westinghouse" needed to be heard, so I'm grateful for the original EP. But even more thankful for it being back where it belongs with "Fingerprince".
