Cocteau twins sugar hiccup 12 version

Contents
Background
The title of the EP came from the first line in the opening track of Head Over Heels, "When Mama Was Moth".
"From the Flagstones" and "Hitherto" appeared on The Pink Opaque (1985), and the entire EP was featured on The Box Set (1991). All songs except "Because of Whirl-Jack" were performed live. Unlike many Cocteau Twins songs, "Sugar Hiccup" and "From the Flagstones" had 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.
