The E.P.s of R.P. is a compilation of the anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni, released on LP in 1987 on Corpus Christi Records.[3][4] It contains both of the band's first two 7-inch EPs, Rudimentary Peni and Farce. In 1994, it was reissued on CD on the band's own Outer Himalayan Records.

Tracks 1-12 were taken from the Rudimentary Peni 7-inch EP, recorded at Street Level in 1981 and released in August that year. Tracks 13-22 were from the Farce 7-inch EP, recorded at Southern Studios, London, in 1982, engineered by John Loder, produced by Penny Rimbaud and Rudimentary Peni, and released on Crass Records in July of that year.

## Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote that "these releases were throttling and brash, shamelessly self-explanatory, and fond of intense speed shifts as they tottered over a pre-grindcore method of handling near chaos."[1] Trouser Press thought that the record contains "some mini-masterworks of alienated vitriol."[4]
