>Abort, Retry, Fail?_ is an EP released in 1996 by White Town.
The title of the EP was taken from the DOS error message "Abort, Retry, Fail?". This referred to the problems the band had when a computer crashed during the production of the track. The liner notes of the single explain this with "I got the title for this single from the weekend I mixed the tracks. My hard drive went bonkers and I spent 72 reformatting the dang thing". The notes do not explain what time scale the "72" refers to.
It reached number 1 in the UK singles chart.
