Dung 4 is a demo album by the British indie rock band Inspiral Carpets. It was first released in May 1989 on Inspiral Carpets' own Cow RecordsInspiral Carpets at Discogs and only on cassette. The name refers to the catalogue number.
In 2014, it was announced that Dung 4 would be re-released on vinyl and CD on Cherry Red Records on 19 and 28 April respectively, with the contents of Inspiral Carpets' earlier demo EP Cow, as bonus tracks. On the LP version, Cow was included as a bonus 7-inch EP, while on the CD its tracks were appended to the end of the Dung 4 program. A second vinyl reissue of Dung 4 was released on the Tiger Bay label in Europe, containing the entire contents of both demos on a single album. In promotion of the reissue, Clint Boon stated that he considered Dung 4 to be the band's debut album, even though various outlets classified it as a demo album.
