eggssell Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 hmmmm thats a hard one...in the past i was all about the 12" single (EP), but on the other hand some of my favourite tracks of all time are usually unreleased singles found on an LPso i guess it would just depend on the artist and what they have upcoming etc. etc. Quote
OxyKon Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Yeah I'd have to agree with eggs on that, some tracks will be released on a limited edition white label and then 6 months or more later it'll be released on an LP or something, when the Skream remix of La Roux "in for the kill" came out it was like this, all I could get it on was 4 track EP of 2 of La Roux singles Quote
GREMM1S Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Ive found floating bamboo a decent alternative to vinyl for contemporary flooring options. Quote
Cupe Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I went with LP just because of usabilityIf there's a track or tracks I really fucking love I'll get an EPThat being said I have stacks of wax under both categories in several genres Quote
wrxfiend Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 EP's (12" singles) are where the instrumentals and acapellas are at!to me albums are mostly useless, but still have a few classics eh! Quote
russell Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 There are some albums you have to own on vinyl and there are a lot of b-sides which you get on the singles that are worth buying them for. So both have their advantages over the other. Quote
overit Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I dont know if this is a true fact but I have been told that:Ep has less music per inch, therefore groove can be wider and deeper, allowing for more detail and depth to the pressing.... and this makes it louder.In modern terms: LP has to have it's groove compressed to fit so much on so little = quieter/less clarity.

ChevChelios Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 EPs, I tend to just buy albums digitally unless it's something special. Quote
DJElev8 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 EPs for me from a turntablist perspective.. 12s are actually my favorite at 33 1/3 as they have the wides grooves, best feel for cuts and juggles.. Quote
