State what "EP" and "LP" stand for. We are in an arguement here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
EP = Extended Play LP = Long Play |
||||||||
|
|

Are there definite restrictions on what defines these or a 'single' for that matter. I've noticed EPs with less tracks than singles. What is the story? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

In the UK there are very strict guidelines over what constitutes a "Single". It is a combination of number of tracks on the CD, length of the tracks etc. That is why you find many singles in the UK being released on two discs (such as Come to Daddy) when it was first released. Anything that wasn't eligible to be a Single was called an EP. |

i thought that a single has to include a song from the actual album, and an ep didnt. for me: -ventolin = single -windowlicker = ep -basscadet = single -cichli suite, envane, ep7 and a whole lot more = eps |
||||||||

|
|
No Window Licker was a Single and Ventolin was an EP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe, are you kidding me? didnt know! oh well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually ICBYD which is technically a compilation hence Ventolin is an EP by your own definition |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
?? i said ventolin was a single, since icbyd is an lp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ventolin had too many tracks on it to be a single. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*i thought that a single has to include a song from the actual album, and an ep didnt. * but ICBYD is not an album it is a compilation and hence Ventolin cannot be said to be from an *album*..hence it is an EP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was under the impression that icbyd was clearly labeled as an album, not a compilation... what makes you think it is, though? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ICBYD is still an album even if it is a compilation of tracks. It would still fall in the LP bracket. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shops put ICBYD in the album section. not compilation section or singles section. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because it IS..it compiles tracks from like 1990 ot 1993..years are clearly marked with the year they were created in |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, i guess by your logic, nin's the fragile is also a compilation, since it compiles songs made in 1997 to 1999... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That'd be a Milp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and a milp would be? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is so confusing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know, it just sounds funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on Fragile Trent has gone out of his way to create as seamless and flowing experience..he hasnt made a conscious effort to make you aware of which year each song was created... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i understand what you mean. since rdj made the conscious effort to indicate the dates, that makes his album a compilation, unlike only taking up a long time before getting an album together à la fragile... maybe icbyd is a compilation afterall, but wouldnt drukqs be one too (since he told himself he just threw a bunch of tracks together from that lost minidisc)? or, because he hasnt written the actual year in which the tracks were created, he avoids the 'compilation' title? this is getting a bit complicated...! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is getting a bit complicated...! tell me about it :) I mean even SAW I has been compiled and packaged as a compilation hasnt it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i believe it's perceived as an album (if i ca rely on what allmusic.com says...), but the title obviously tells us it's a compilation (with the years)... damn! i dont know what's what anymore! and i forgot what the inialt goal of this 'argument' was... lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you thought we were having an argument? :( why does everyone always think that.. I mean I call em discussions and the next thing I know people start swearing and name calling... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A compilation is still an album...Usually the term album refers to a collection of one artists work, a compilation a collection of various artists work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe not an argument (i think it has a somewhat negative meaning in english). discussion would be a better term ;) |
