The name "Fopp" comes from the title of a song by the Ohio Players on their 1975 album ''Honey''. By 2007, Fopp had expanded to become a chain of over 100 branches in the UK. With the demise of rival chain Music Zone, Fopp became the third largest specialist music retailer in the UK in terms of shop numbers (after HMV and Virgin Megastores).

Recording The EP was recorded in 1988 at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, Washington, with producer Steve Fisk. Music and lyrics The EP contains one Soundgarden original, two covers, and a remix. Guitarist Kim Thayil said of the title track: "That's an Ohio Players song off of ''Honey''—I've had that album since I was in high school. We thought we could take the song and make it AC/DC or something. We'd take the power chords, turn up the volume and make it heavy. "Fopp" is a good song that needed to be given its due as a "kick-ass rock song!"Gilbert, Jeff. "Primecuts: Kim Thayil". ''Guitar School''. May 1994. The EP also contains a cover of the Green River song "Swallow My Pride" from the 1985 EP, '' Come on Down''. ...
