"Lawson Square Infirmary" was a 12" EP released in 1984. It was a result of a one-off recording collaboration featuring members of The Triffids and Sydney musician James Paterson, who financed the recording and was Triffids singer David McComb's occasional songwriting collaborator. The performances were recorded in a couple of takes live to stereo at the Sydney Opera House shortly before the Triffids relocated to London.

The EP was released with two different coloured sleeves - pink text/images on a pale yellow background, and brown text/images on a pale yellow background. The pink sleeves were the result of incorrect printing and have not been reproduced since the initial pressing of the EP.
