St. Valentine's Day Massacre EP was recorded while Motörhead's drummer Phil Taylor was recovering from a neck injury. The two bands (Motörhead and Girlschool) decided to collaborate under the monicker Headgirl. The result was this three-track EP. Each of the bands did a cover of each other's tracks (Motörhead chose "Emergency" and Girlschool did "Bomber"). Both bands duetted on a cover of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates' "Please Don't Touch".
