Tracklist: 1. "Elephantine" (4,5 / 5) - 2. "Margaret's Injection" (4 / 5) - 3. "The 1001st Fault" - 4. "Anvil Dub"

4 track ep by Kitchens of Distinction is a fine release that I have come to like a lot many years later. The title track is beautiful tension and could've fitted nicely on the debut as well as the political satire of "Margaret's Injection" - a controversial song about giving Margaret Thatcher a lethal injection... (very much like the track "Margaret on the Guillotine" by Morrissey from his debut in 1988). The last track only seems a bit strange and difficult to accept within their soundscape. The ep is included as bonus tracks on a 1993 reissue of the debut album.
