7 Songs = EP or LP?

Recommended Posts

The standard in the record industry has an EP as less than 25 minutes. There are exceptions, but that's usually what the cutoff is considered to be.

Edited to add
In doing a quick check, this quasi-standard appears to come from the UK.

So Thick as a Brick is 1 song, 2 sides. Total time 43+ minutes. LP? (BTW- a great album to listen to at 4:20 while lying down on the carpet between the speakers. ...or so they tell me :))

Well, remember what LP actually stands for, simply "Long Playing."



Yeah. I was only pointing out in a back-handed sorta way that the number of songs didn't determine EP vs LP and at the same time providing a review for the youngsters who may have not heard (of) it. :)
