Copyright (c) Soft Records (11)
Recorded At Noisebox Studio (2)
all tracks recorded from may - june 1998 at noisebox studios
the copyright in this sound recording and artwork is owned by soft records.

Very limited first release (possibly as few as 50 copies on CD-R)
These are all original demo recordings. All of the songs were later re-recorded and all were re-issued on the Deluxe Edition of Asleep In The Back, except George Lassoes The Moon, where a live version was favoured.
This E.P. (sold at gigs and distributed to friends, family and record companies, etc) was a taster for the original debut album for Island Records, being produced by Steve Osborne, that later got scrapped during the takeover by Universal in 1998.
The catalogue number and label name is a deliberate nod to the band's previous incarnations Mr. Soft and Soft and the E.P.'s name is a homage to the studio it was recorded at.
