Manics Albums as EPs

Had a thought for a thread I haven't seen before: Manics albums as EPs! Basically boil down each album to four tracks that define the album. No other criteria other than the four track limit, feel free to include b-sides and non-album singles as long as they belong to the era in question.

I'll do my full list later (currently sitting in a toilet in Heathrow Terminal 2) but here's mine for TUVL. My criteria is based on tracks that sort of meet the grand statement or feeling of album so not necessarily my favourite tracks or singles (my GT EP and EMG EPs have BIG omissions).

Updated my EPs except for KYE because it's a total mess of an album.

Well, KYE’s first four tracks could work as an EP. They’re all different and all show what the album’s about.

This is a random one. But I like it! The thing with EP’s (for me at least) is they tend to follow less of a dynamic than an album, and arguably a narrower scope. As a result, these EPs miss out some great tracks because there’s a particular vibe I’m trying to stick to with each one.
