Carrot Rope Pt. 1 (1999) |
Major Leagues EP is Pavement's final EP, although two more singles were released afterwards. It features seven tracks in total:
- A radio edit of the Terror Twilight version of "Major Leagues."
- Two "Spiral Stairs" songs: "Your Time to Change," and "Stub Your Toe," which were recorded by Pavement's original drummer, Gary Young (lead singer Stephen Malkmus most likely did not attend these sessions due to his feud with Young).
- A demo of "Major Leagues" recorded alone by Malkmus.
- "Decouvert de Soleil," which features Stephen Malkmus switching back between English and French. The sound and instrumentation of the song is very similar to that of the "Major Leagues" demo, so it could be safe to assume that the singer recorded this track alone as well.
- Covers of Echo & the Bunnymen's "Killing Moon" and The Fall's "The Classical" from a 1997 BBC session. The latter is introduced as "an old family favorite."
