just because the sleeve
2008-10-07 28159, 2008

In my book, sleeve trumps all else
2008-10-07 28110, 2008
CatCat
that simply isnt true
2008-10-07 28117, 2008
CatCat
not for classical. not for general, not for jazz

well, we do have guidelines.

I know, I know.
2008-10-07 28133, 2008
Wizzcat
then again, it is a single
2008-10-07 28144, 2008
hawke_
but where it's at all ambiguous, I tend to side with the sleeve.
2008-10-07 28146, 2008
Wizzcat
so moving it all down is probably appropriate
2008-10-07 28121, 2008
CatCat
"moving it down"?

Wizzcat: isn't it an EP?
2008-10-07 28144, 2008
CatCat
ep is a non exsistance in thecdage
2008-10-07 28151, 2008
warp
CatCat: i would probably move the 'feat. CHARA' to the release title in this case.
2008-10-07 28155, 2008
CatCat
ep counts only for vinyl
2008-10-07 28105, 2008
CatCat
maxisingle is to cd what ep is to vinyl
2008-10-07 28110, 2008
Wizzcat
CatCat: adding feat to the relevant tracks
2008-10-07 28110, 2008

bullshit
2008-10-07 28129, 2008
CatCat
*usually*
2008-10-07 28129, 2008
Wizzcat
nah, plenty of cd eps, but that is not one
2008-10-07 28142, 2008
warp
maxisingle implies a bunch of mixes of the same song, with possibly one or a few other tracks.
2008-10-07 28156, 2008

EP is a short album, with no repeats of any of the tracks.
2008-10-07 28159, 2008
CatCat
its more an exeption/harder to define .than before the vinyl age
2008-10-07 28122, 2008
CatCat
ah
2008-10-07 28125, 2008
CatCat was told that
2008-10-07 28129, 2008
CatCat
so i thoguht
2008-10-07 28133, 2008

I think "EP" is pretty much "what the artists want to call it" in CDs.
2008-10-07 28133, 2008
Muzzz
< CatCat> ep is a non exsistance in thecdage
2008-10-07 28136, 2008
Muzzz
That's not true
2008-10-07 28138, 2008
hawke_
There's certainly no clear-cut definition.
2008-10-07 28100, 2008
Muzzz
CDs and Vinyls are the medium. Album, single and EP refer to the content
2008-10-07 28100, 2008
CatCat
i alreaqdy clerarifyed that
2008-10-07 28113, 2008

shut up already its late

the future sound of londen have some nice corner cases, where it's hard to determine wether we're talking about a single or an EP. but generally, it's quite clear.
2008-10-07 28128, 2008

yes

CatCat will go "bullshit" off
2008-10-07 28152, 2008

from the style guide, "usually it should only be assumed that a release is an EP if the artist defines it as such."
2008-10-07 28153, 2008
CatCat has left the channel

Artist or label heh

If I was an artist I'd make nightmare releases just to fuck with friends at MB.

"My EP has 22 tracks. And it IS artist intent." Most people would be wondering what the hell I meant but everybody here would know.
But it's kind of cheating since 4 tracks a karaoke tracks.

they're not all the same song, are they?
2008-10-07 28110, 2008
hawke_
singles with different songs are common.
2008-10-07 28117, 2008
Kerensky98
No it's basically a maxi single of 4 songs with many remixes
2008-10-07 28132, 2008
warp
(not that that's a requirement for singles, but I'm sure there are singles out there with lots of remixes of the same song)
2008-10-07 28102, 2008
hawke_
The most common CD-single format as far as I know is one song, a bunch of remixes of that song, and then a different song.

I don't own that many CD-singles, so that's my limited sample. :-D
2008-10-07 28150, 2008

If only collections were in MB proper, I could perhaps see how many that actually is.
2008-10-07 28110, 2008

I like when they put those alternate version in there. If they're going to charge alot for a single they should put some rare versions of the song in there too.

I just want the music video on DVD.
2008-10-07 28151, 2008

That's a nice bonus too.
2008-10-07 28133, 2008

I like japanese singles because of that :).
2008-10-07 28158, 2008

although recently the big names are all releasing CD+DVD albums with all the videos on them too.
2008-10-07 28114, 2008

(which is even better).

I think that's a good solution to the "we're losing market share to iTunes and online downloads" Throw some cool videos on a cheap disc of plastic and suddenly buying the physical albums are alot more interesting to me.
2008-10-07 28108, 2008
warp nods.

if I wanted to take the time to sit through a several-hour concert, I'd spend that time watching a movie.
