Too Pure was a London-based independent record label formed in 1990 by Richard Roberts and Paul Cox. The label gained prominence after the release of PJ Harvey's debut album Dry in 1992, with funding support from Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of 4AD. Too Pure later became majority owned by the Beggars Group. In April 2008, Beggars Group decided to retire the Too Pure imprint and transferred key artists to their subsidiary label, 4AD. The label operated a monthly subscription service called The Singles Club until December 2017 when it ceased operations. Today, its catalogue is part of Beggars Arkive.

The Groop Played Space Age Batchelor Pad Music is an 8-track mini album, released in 1993. The Album is an odd and hypnotic mini-album. It shows their twin influences, Neu-style trance-rock and easy-listening pop. It sounds smooth and assured, with the charm and confidence of a group well aware they've hit on the kind of good idea that'll last them for years.
