Uptown Avondale is an EP by the band The Afghan Whigs. It bears the Sub Pop catalog number SPCD 53/215 and is representative of the Cincinnati band's soul influences. The EP contains covers of four classic Stax/Motown-era songs: "Band of Gold", which was made famous by Freda Payne "True Love Travels on a Gravel Road", by Dallas Frazier/A.L. Owens, recorded by Elvis Presley and Percy Sledge among others "Come See About Me", a Holland–Dozier–Holland song that was a hit for The Supremes "Beware", by Al Green The E.P. also contains a remix of the band's song "Milez Is Ded" as a hidden track — the original was itself a hidden track on the 1992 album Congregation. This version features a looped drum track and some heavy effects on the vocals and guitars. The band referred to the new mix as "Rebirth of the Cool," as a paean to the Miles Davis album Birth of the Cool.
