@ Release type follows the self-description by the releasing artist, and is usually either:
Release Types
Album
An album (or "LP") is a collection of songs traditionally defined by the play length of vinyl LP ("Long Player"). The average album contains roughly 11-13 songs, but this can depend on the length of the songs. Albums have been released with 40 songs of 30 seconds each, and four songs lasting about 20 minutes each.
EP
An EP is a shorter collection of songs, usually 4-7, although they can have more. 'Spanish Goat Dancer' by Head Like a Hole was released as an EP[1], despite having 20 songs, although most of these were not album quality recordings. A record with less than 4 songs is usually released as a single.
Single
This record type focuses on one song, usually a song being used to promote an album or EP that it appears on. The main component of a single is the radio version of a song, but they usually also contain other tracks known as B-sides, such as; album version, remixes (by the releasing artist or others), live recordings, demo versions (experimental recordings not up to album quality), unreleased tracks (usually also demo versions), or occasionally other tracks from the same album/ EP.
