	An6y66 Member since Jul 2012 1817 Points	[img][/img] Says 'Long Play' on the label, plays at 33 1/3 rpm, 5 tracks but its a 7".....So is it an EP or an LP? Edited by An6y66 on 6th Dec 2013, 12:15 PM

Its an oddity that doesn't really fit anywhere, and in this case I'd be tempted to add it to vinyl albums because of its speed.

It also contains singles which spin at 33, like this one: http://www.45cat.com/record/333376 It should really be called 7-inch cat. Edited by TopPopper on 5th Dec 2013, 9:41 PM

All 17 tracks are cut into circular grooves (as opposed to a continuous spiral) so each one plays indefinitely until the needle is lifted. Technically there is no upper limit on the number of tracks an EP can have, although conventionally between three and six is the norm. There are EPs with more, and I would personally call this an EP.
