Unexplained (EP)

Unexplained EP is an EP by the English band EMF. Although following on from their well-received Schubert Dip album (which reached number 3 in the UK and US charts, and spawned an American number one hit single), the Unexplained EP was not a commercial success, peaking at number 18 in the UK Singles Chart.

This EP features a remake of Iggy & The Stooges' 1973 song " Search and Destroy".
