Background
The title of the EP comes from the first line in the opening track of Head Over Heels, "When Mama Was Moth".
"From the Flagstones" and "Hitherto" appears on The Pink Opaque (1985), and the entire EP is featured in The Box Set (1991). All songs except "Because of Whirl-Jack" have been performed live. Unlike many Cocteau Twins songs, "Sugar Hiccup" and "From the Flagstones" have discernible English lyrics.
The EP was later reissued as an appendage to the CD version of Head Over Heels in the United Kingdom, Brazil and Canada.
