Uncertain (EP)

Uncertain is the first EP of the Irish band the Cranberries,[1] produced by Pearse Gilmore,[1] it was released in the autumn of 1991,[1] having previously released cassette EPs under the name The Cranberry Saw Us.[1][2] Uncertain was released by Island under the Xeric Records name on both CD and 12" vinyl formats.[3][4] Approximately 5,000 total copies of Uncertain were ever produced.[5] Guitarist Noel Hogan said of the album that Gilmore "cluttered the mixes with dance beats and industrial-style guitar", which resulted from a conflictual relationship between the group and Gilmore.[2] The Cranberries debut EP did not chart.[1]
