Background

The idea of having an EP being released first was opened after BMG Records ( Pilipinas ) reckoned Dec. 6 as the date of the release of the studio album because it's already too late to push a yuletide set.

Recording

The song "Fruitcake" was recorded in two versions having a different ending. Thus, the "standard" version can be heard on the EP while the "album" version can be heard on the album. "Old Fashioned Christmas Carol" was already recorded as part of the studio album. Both songs were recorded at Tracks Studio.

The last song on the EP was a live performance on NU107 in December 1994 with additional back-up vocals by Bobbit, Robert, Jeng, Dong, Laccay.
