    As seen on MFM's Bandcamp page: ...this 12" also features the unreleased end of the night jam ‘Find It In Your Eyes’, a track which somehow never made it on to the original LP release.
    So you need both the album and the MFM release because that track is out of this world.

      agree with distances. MFM has a steady quality output, but this one will always be my nr. 1 i guess. stunning pressing and remastering, and all tracks are great: all killer no filler.

        Probably my favorite MFM release so far. Simple, visceral, straight to the point, elegant.

          What disapointment! The sound quality of the masterpiece song "Almost Grown" on the reissue is poor compared to the original

              Finally got my copy. Lose my words every time I listen to each of the tracks on here. Full of profound moments.

                One on my best blind purchases from 2016, so glad I took it with some other records in one order. The original release is quite rare (thus expensive) and some tracks on it are so cringy they destroy the overall dreamy feeling for me. This EP is different - they took the best 3 tracks from LP and there's an additional, previously unreleased bonus track that maches the selection.
                Almost grown is a gem, so much emotions flowing thru it
                Strongly recommended!

                Edit: They should've also included Your Love in it, but I guess it would be an overkill :))

                  Almost grown is sheer pop brilliance,why this tune is not deeply embedded in our psyche (well,mine anyway)from long ago is a tragedy,it has a kind of Talk Talk crafted elegance that is very seldom heard in the commercial pop of the era,this should have been huge at the time,but there is still hope,it could have been made yesterday x
