Prolapse - First 3 singles

Oh, do I have a special one for you here! Prolapse were amazing. Unique. How many other bands have recorded a song that is basically a fight between the two vocalists? None. That's how many.

And for a long time I assumed that the "Pointless Walks to Dismal Places" album or the "Doorstop Rhythmic Block" EP were the first things they released. But I was wrong. And happily so. Oh, friendly internet, you made known to me the existence of three early seven inches and, lo, for a not too exorbitant fee, you were able to dispatch said pieces of vinyl to my abode whereupon i was able to transfer the strange scribblings on these black plastic totems into electronic signals for your listening pleasure.


All three EPs; the Crate EP, Pull Thru' Barker and When Space Invaders Were Big were released on Cherry Red. A total of ten songs over the three singles, none of which have appeared on any subsequent releases.

Crate EP:
1. Psychotic Now
2. P.D.F.
3. Screws
4. Kilometrica Banca

Pull Thru' Barker:
1. Pull Thru' Barker
2. Dirge
3. They Slept In Darkness
4. E.O.P.O.

When Space Invaders Were Big:
1. When Space Invaders Were Big
2. Love Like Anthrax

  1. Doubt very much you could re-up these? Just thought I'd ask on the off chance. I have the third one actually but maybe your rip's better :D
    Not to worry if not. Btw did you see Prolapse back on tour recently? Bloody marvellous !
