Four Songs by Live

Four Songs, a 1991 EP on Radioactive Records, was the first thing the York, Pennsylvania, four-piece released as Live, after an album called The Death of a Dictionary and an EP, Divided Mind, Divided Planet, under the name Public Affection. Jerry Harrison produced it, and Ed Kowalczyk sings like a man with a sermon to deliver, with Chad Taylor's guitar chiming and churning, Patrick Dahlheimer on bass and Chad Gracey on drums.

"Operation Spirit" and "Good Pain" were bound for the band's full-length Mental Jewelry; the other two tracks resurfaced as B-sides on the European CD single of "Operation Spirit". When Throwing Copper made them big in 1994, two-CD editions in Europe and Australia tucked Four Songs in as the bonus disc. It was pressed on 12-inch vinyl too, in green and in black.
