When I want to show someone where the Burma experience began for me I will put this Ep on the turntable. Granted That's When I Reach for My Revolver is the standout track, the nature of the format dictates that featured  tracks often eclipse the others on a great many Eps & singles. Perhaps  self-consciously avante-garde tracks like This Is Not a Photograph or Max  Ernst seem out of place. Max Ernst was a holdover from the pre-Burma band  The Moving Parts and Photograph had been refined to such a degree that this  version would effectively supplant the earlier version in the minds of all  but the completist. How about  All World Cowboy Romance, an irresistably  silly title behind which a layered and cunning beauty resides. All of that  said, if you haven't already purchased VS. (not to be confused with the  Pearl Jam album of the same name)  then do so without delay. VS. is where  anyone interested in Burma should start. Nothing can prepare you. No amount  of listening to early glories such as Academy Fight Song (not on Signals,  Calls and Marches Ep originally anyway) will come close, so few records  have. This endlessly inventive, humorous, passionate and influential  collection will stand on its own merits with or without critical acclaim.  Like a "..mineral deposit, a ball of mica, inside a rock."!  There is no non-essential Mission of Burma.
