The joys of determining what is a mini album, what is a 12", etc. plays on... there was a similar debate over on CD single world a while ago.

I think the bottom line is a marketing one, if the company is promoting it as a 12" single (or Maxi EP) then really that's what it is. Normally the cat # they use can also be used as a guide but there are always exceptions! It's also worth looking to see if it charted and what chart it appeared in (i.e. album or single). The record speed is a bit of a red herring with some discs.

Have a look at this one I added this weekend. Greatest Hits album? - Maxi EP on front sleeve so that's what I went with.
