Never understood the difference, as sometimes an EP had as many songs as a Mini-LP, but what are some of your favorites?
I saw someone mentioning their love of EPs in another thread, so what do you think?

Some of mine:
Iron Maiden-Maiden Japan
Alice In Chains-Jar Of Flies (a masterpiece)
Primus-Miscellaneous Debris
Rush-Feedback
Echo & Bunnymen-Echo & Bunnymen (US only live EP from 1984)
Marillion-Brief Encounter
Marillion-Reel To Reel
Living Colour-Biscuits
Cheap Trick-Found All The Parts
The Cure-Japanese Whispers
Genesis-Spot The Pigeon

Several of the above, but the one I've been listening to nonstop for the last 2 months is:

I Think You Know - Julia Nunes
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6nVGm_0DPE[/youtube]

Julia is truly the best thing since sliced bread, and the EP was produced in a very Spectorish/Wilsonian manner by Jack Conte of Pomplamoose. Go buy a copy. MP3 downloads of the EP are only $4 on her site. http://junumusic.com/music.php

Aaron Neville's 1985 EP "Orchid in the Storm" is one of his best releases ever.

Cool-- Jack Conte is a former student of mine. He's a great guy. Nice to see him get some pub.

Alan, the Lizzy was a live EP from April 1981 released in the UK which made it to #19. Such a cool mix of live cuts with "Are You Ready", "Opium Trail", "Dear Miss Lonely Hearts" (a Phil Lynott hit) and "Bad Reputation".
I don't have it and damn I wish I did.
The Dire Straits EP came out in May 1993 and featured 4 live tracks "Your Latest Trick", "The Bug", "solid Rock" and "Local Hero (Wild Theme)". I'd like to have this too. It made it to #31 in the UK.
Wonder what the Lizzy is worth?

I always considered this an a Mini LP as it only runs for 25 or so minutes from memory. Perhaps i'm wrong.
Not to worry...... :sigh:

The UK expanded Free catalog is very much worth picking up. Most of the albums are much longer now!
