Artists usually use 'EP' for the wrong reasons. These days people just use it to signify that there is more than one track on the 12". Its usually only used if they are two or more diff tracks too, not one and a remix of it etc.

It was originally used to distinguish between Singles - which used to have only one track per side. EP's (Extended Players) - which had up to two or three tracks per side, and LP's (Long Players) - which had entire albums worth on...

LP's, because they had so much on them though, used to be less quality (something to do with the quality of vinyl and how much info it used to be able to contain over a certain amount of grooves etc) so they were, and still are recorded on a lower volume than a twelve etc....
EP's don't really suffer with this......

Interesting fact:
Ideal length for one side of a vinyl is 6-7mins

 

[comin' at ya]
