Description

"Despite having a title track by Kiss, this mid-career EP displays a confident, introspective Red House Painters seemingly influenced by a parallel world where Nick Drake shoegazed it up with Ride or Chapterhouse. Somehow, it's quietly splendid. Both "Sundays and Holidays" and "Three-Legged Cat" take the plaintive, solo-acoustic work of a haunted troubadour without once sounding folksy or trite. Even the cover title track sounds just bridled enough to stun fans of both Kiss and Red House Painters alike (Mark Kozelek would later repeat this strategy on his debut album, Rock 'N Roll Singer). Most EPs are nugatory, contract-stalling diversions, yet this mini-release is simply essential -- in both senses of the words." - All Music.

This is the Red House Painters "Shock Me" 12" vinyl e.p. released by 4AD Records in 1994. 

The 12" features four tracks.
The 12" is packaged in a full-colour card sleeve with a white paper inner sleeve.


The 12" plays fine despite having surface marks on both sides.
The sleeve has some wear to it: scuffs, the corners are a little bashed, there are a few grubby marks & a tear on the back of the sleeve and it has some discolouration at the top where it looks as if it may have been exposed to liquid at some time.
