Production
The EP, produced by Terry Moore, was recorded at The Lab, in Auckland, New Zealand.[6][7]
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that the EP "occasionally trips over its own ambition but dazzles on the wild 'Dialing a Prayer'."[8] Melody Maker called the EP "one psychotic straitlaced feline mutha of a record."[9] In a retrospective article, the Sunday Star-Times wrote: "Right from the first note of their first EP, Life in One Chord (1987), Shayne Carter made up his own world, a personalised gothic opera, with Carter playing the rebel rock star in the grand, sneering tradition of early Elvis, John Lennon and Sid Vicious."[10]
