'''''The Lost EP''''' (also known as ''The "Lost" EP'' and ''Lost EP'')<ref name="Discogs.com 404820">[https://www.discogs.com/release/404820-The-Chills-The-Lost-EP ''The Chills - The "Lost" EP on Discogs.com'']</ref> was a 1985 release by [[Music in New Zealand|New Zealand]] band [[The Chills]].<ref name="Discogs.com">[http://www.discogs.com/Chills-The-Lost-EP/release/797310 ''The Lost EP on Discogs.com'']</ref>
The title originates from the fact that the recordings which make up the EP were thought to be lost for some time, resulting in the delayed release of the EP.
All six tracks from the EP were later re-released as part of the ''[[Kaleidoscope World (The Chills album)|Kaleidoscope World]]'' compilation CD.<ref name="Kaleidoscope World">[http://www.discogs.com/Chills-Kaleidoscope-World/release/392144''Kaleidoscope World on Discogs.com'']</ref>
==Reception==

Phillipps' twisting of words and music is inspiring."<ref>{{cite magazine| magazine= Spin | title=Spin offs|author=Evelyn McDonnell | date=May 1989|issue=47|page=89}}</ref>
