Mother Earth is the first single by the reformed version of Underworld, originally released in 1992 in the UK. It was a 'band-made' private pressing of 500 (at least one of which is known to be broken). It was distributed by the band personally, often at times from the trunk of their car. It is one of the most sought-after singles by the band, and often sells for over £100 in near mint condition. The song was released as "M.E." on Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1993).
