The first song on the EP is the US version of the single "Stop Whispering", which was remixed by Chris Sheldon . It contains strings as well as acoustic guitars and is characterized by a slower tempo. The second song, "Thinking About You", was taken over from the EP Drill , it is an electric demo version based on punk rock of a song that was later recorded acoustically for Pablo Honey.
"Faithless, the Wonder Boy" is the only original version and was already included on the single "Anyone Can Play Guitar" at the time of Itch's release. "Banana Co." was taken over from the single "Pop is Dead", it was later recorded again for "Street Spirit (Fade Out)". The version represented on Itch was recorded on the Signal One radio station .
The live versions of “Killer Cars,” “You,” and “Vegetable” were only included on the extremely rare 12-inch single “ Creep ” until Itch was released . The three songs were recorded on June 30, 1993 in Chicago. The eighth and final song, an acoustic version of "Creep", was recorded on June 13, 1993 in the KROQ studios in Los Angeles and included in the EP My Iron Lung a year later .
