Source-derived summary

Eph is the third studio album by the English post-rock band Fridge. It was released in 1999, as their first (and only) album for the Go! Beat label.

The album was reissued in North America in 2002 on Temporary Residence Limited with an additional CD consisting of two EPs released in the same year ("Kinoshita Terasaka" and remixes of "Of" by the band themselves), plus two more recent remixes.

Editorial summary

“Eph (album)” enters the record as album by Fridge. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what album and Fridge can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1999, 2002—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1999-01-01. Its strongest next move is a source search built around album and Fridge.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Eph (album)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, album and Fridge provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5382124. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999 and 2002.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
