~ Release by Pulp (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Annotation

EP issued by Island Records in 1994, chiefly to enable the indie anthem "Babies" to hit the pop charts. The EP was re-promoted in 1996.

All songs written by Cocker, Senior, Mackey, Banks and Doyle. Produced and mixed by Ed Buller.
Imperial lather from The Designers Republic. Image by Philip Castle.

All formats contained 4 tracks.
1994 7" (numbered), 12" (with print of the "His 'n' Hers" album artwork), cassette (all 4 tracks on both sides), and CD (slimline case).
Int. cat nos. begin with 858703.
1996 7" is on white vinyl (ISC595). CD is identical to 1994 version (858703-2).

"Your Sister's Clothes" features the sisters from "Babies" four years on. Now the younger sibling finally gets her revenge for earlier years. "Seconds" explores the idea that perfect people are... well, perfectly boring to be honest whilst "His 'n' Hers" is one man's fear of domestic interiors set to music. What are you frightened of? (And remember - shove it in sideways)
