Information
Limited & hand numbered edition (999). Unnumbered copies were issued to radio stations and journalists, while numbered copies were sold via mail order and in independent record stores, including KMA in Torquay and Solo in Exeter.[2]
The first known record of the band that were to be known as Muse. The EP was recorded over two days after Sawmills based Dennis Smith offered the band free studio time.[3] Released on the 11th May 1998[2] on Dennis Smith's Dangerous label. The recordings on the album differ from those later released on Showbiz, for example, Overdue is longer and features additional choruses. As the Muse EP is highly sought after by fans and collectors, Muse EPs on eBay can reach very high prices. Howard authored the artwork,[4] although it is unknown who is featured. A similar artwork has been spotted in the film 12 Monkeys.
A fake 7" vinyl has been made. This has been confirmed as a fraudulent item by Dennis Smith, at Sawmills Residential Recording. This 7" version has the same bar code as the CD version further showing this.
As with the Muscle Museum EP, a Sawmills recording studio promo version was made.
