Cornells vocals on these two EPs are the real diamond in the rough. The rest of the band hadn't really developed fully as musicians yet (however they are still very good comparatively speaking)
'Fopp' is a real interesting song. It is like no other song that Soundgarden has ever recorded before (to my knowledge, and I have most of their B-sides). It is this fun pop party song. It would be really strange if Soundgarden had decided to go 'the Fopp route' and become a band like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers instead! Based on this track they probably could have pulled it off.
Ironically I think the best song of the bunch though is the B-side 'Toy Box'. It has this real dark vibe and one can hear alot of fore-shadowing of the 'SuperUnknown' album which would be Soundgardens biggest album in a few years.
