EP Collection Volumes 1 & 2

As was the case with a wide swathe of UK bands in the late ’80s through the ’90s in particular, Cranes put out a large number of singles and EPs, a number of which weren’t associated with any album in particular, though this became more the case with time. EP Collection Vol. 1 & 2 serves as a handy catchall of most of this otherwise unavailable material (a number of remixes aren’t included, like Robert Smith’s famed remix of “Jewel”), giving some proper shine to earlier work in particular like “Inescapable” and “I Hope” as well as later B-sides plus their many strong singles in turn.
