Never Mind the Molluscs is a compilation EP released in March 1993[1] on Sub Pop Records.

[3] Two of the featured bands, Jale and Eric's Trip, were signed directly to Sub Pop, while Sloan were signed to Geffen Records;[4] the fourth band, Idée du Nord, were the only contributors to the compilation who never became widely known outside of the Maritime scene.

[9] Bob Weston had issues with Customs when bringing his recording equipment over the border.

Eric's Trip contributed a medley of two separate songs, "Blue Sky for Julie/Smother", to the album.

[11][12] Sloan later covered "Smother" for the Geffen Records compilation album DGC Rarities Volume 1; their version recombined "Smother" into a medley with a different Eric's Trip song, "Stove" from the album Love Tara.
