In hindsight, and in my humble opinion, this EP, along with the following Souvlaki LP, sees the band at the peak of their powers, other than perhaps their first three EPs.
***A definite must-have for any serious vinyl collector of shoegaze ephemera***
Vinyl record is EX
Picture Sleeve is EX
***Record plays great, there’s a few quiet crackles and pops during intros and endings of songs, but nothing overt to detract from overall enjoyment of listening***
(The Grading Scale is MINT>Near MINT>EX>VG>Good>Fair or Poor, according to the official Goldmine Grading Standards). See below.
Goldmine definition for EX condition:
An excellent (EX or VG++) condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs which are visible but only slightly. There may be more than a few, so be careful not call a record that has wear to more than 15% of the surface. The wear should be minimal and of course should play mint! Any scratches that can be felt with your fingernail can NOT be called scuffs. Scuffs lay on top of the grooves. If any break in the grooves are felt, they ARE scratches. And most often, they will be heard when played (soft clicks or even loud pops). Once again, no scratches can make this grade!
Artwork should still be as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

All Music Guide review of Slowdive’s Outside Your Room (3.5 / 5 stars):
Released two weeks prior to their second LP in the U.K., Outside Your Room leads off with "Alison," the sublime lead track off that album, Souvlaki. "So Tired" isn't one of Slowdive's better moments, but the lazy lurcher might have served as a decent closer to Souvlaki, had "Dagger" not been so fitting an end. The flip side features the hypnotic, smoldering near-instrumental dub of "Souvlaki Space Station" and closes with "Moussaka Chaos," which is more or less a six-minute extension of "Space Station." These songs are at their most powerful when they're allowed to wash over you.
