The single was released on the Mortarhate label and had the catalogue number MORT 000
The EP contained three tracks, the first two on the A side, and the third on the B side.
1. Class War - Spoken word over a piano background.
2. Better Dead Than Wed - A punk track about the royal wedding.
3. Rap 'n' Durge - A powerful angry monologue over a funky backbeat featuring brass and bass. Rap 'n' Durge was about Class War's attitude to the Royal Family as a whole rather than just the Royal Wedding.
Run-out groove
The run out groove of the record has messages scratched in both the A and B sides:
* A side: "EAT THE RICH!"
* B side: "July 23. You know what to do."
Insert
