When released in 1999, Elastica's 6 Track EP was the first new material issued by the band since their self-titled debut four years prior. According to bandleader Justine Frischmann the EP represented more of a document of what the band was up to during the interim rather than a return to form: "The material has been chosen to allow people to hear rarities and demos which reflect all stages of the bands recording between 1996 and 1999. The EP is certainly not intended to be some big comeback record." Indeed several of the songs would later find themselves on their second album The Menace (2000) although in more polished form.
