==Background==
Albarn recorded these songs, which are little more than demos, during the US leg of Blur's tour for ''[[Think Tank (Blur album)|Think Tank]]'' in various hotel rooms.  He then decided to issue the result, on 8 December that year, in a double 10" vinyl set on his [[Honest Jon's]] label. On 22 December Albarn showcased the demos at a live gig in London's Neighbourhood club.

Some of the EP's tracks were later finished and repurposed for Albarn's other projects; the track "I Need a Gun" was used as the basis for the [[Gorillaz]] song "[[Dirty Harry (song)|Dirty Harry]]", which appeared on their 2005 album ''[[Demon Days]]'', while the track "Half a Song" was repurposed 20 years later as "The Ballad" appearing on Blur's ninth studio album ''[[The Ballad of Darren]]'' (2023).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.jbhifi.com.au/blogs/music/track-by-track-blur-ballad-of-darren | title=Blur's 'The Ballad of Darren': Dive into our track-by-track }}</ref> The track "A Rappy Song" has often been mis-labeled as an unnamed [[Gorillaz]]' track featuring [[Pharcyde|Bootie Brown]] and [[Cee-Lo Green]], however the song is little more than a remix made by a fan.
