ALL ABOUT EVE have a new EP, "Phased", released by MCA this week. Tracks are :"Phased", "Mine", "Infra-Red (Instrumental version)", "Ascent and Descent". An album follows in late October - and much to the band's disgust, a "Greatest Hits" compilation is to be released by their former label Phonogram within days of the new LP's appearance. The group have issued a furious statement asking their fans not to buy the compilation, or any other material reissued by Phonogram.

In the statement, Julianne Regan rages : "I find it quite amusing to think of Phonogram with their snouts to the ground, nosing through the shit we left behind, hoping to snaffle out a few pieces to polish and sell to our audience ... when we're about to release a brilliant EP and the best album since out debut, over which we've been given complete artistic control and into which we've poured immeasurable love and anger."
