It's time for the third event of the Tomatrax Olympics. This week we are looking at the releases that are half way between a single and an album, the EP!
The distinction between singles, EPs, and albums has always been a grey area. For the purposes of this list an EP is classified as a release that:
* has fewer than 9 tracks (otherwise it's an album)
* is longer than 15 minutes (any shorter and it's a single)
* is shorter than 35 minutes (any longer then it's an album)
* does not contain any tracks that were previous released (otherwise it's a single) Note if a song off said EP appears on an album after the EP's release it qualifies as an EP for the purpose of this list
* contains only one version of each track (i.e. no remixes, live versions, instumentals, etc)
This means that some "EPs" were declared inelligible while some albums were deemed to be EPs. So, let the controversy begin!
