limited orange 12" ep these four tracks were laid down at the white house studio in weston-super-mare on january 15, 1989, when the band were only four gigs old.of the four tracks that make up the ep, ‘ecstasy’ has appeared in various versions and permutations on chapterhouse compilations over the years, but never in its full eight-minute glory; a much later version of ‘guilt’ was included on the band’s 1991 debut album and shoegaze classic, 'whirlpool'; a version of ‘die die die’ was also included with that album on a bonus 12”, and remained part of the band’s live set for a while. the stunning ‘see that girl’, however, has never been released before. with 36 years of distance, it sounds like something of a lost classic, and the 'white house demos' as a whole feel like a brief moment in time captured forever.
