Some Good EPs

Dusty Chalk · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2005 3:56 pm

The only one that comes to mind that hasn't already been mentioned is Thomas Dolby, She Blinded Me With Science

I def. second those Cocteau Twins and Stereolab EP's.

I once read Trevor Horn (I actually think it was on a Seal disk) that the difference was that an EP is four good songs, whereas a single is one good song, and three out-takes, B-sides, live tracks, or remixes.

I might own more EP's (and/or CD singles) then anyone here. Seriously, I collected these things in the 90s. I'm going to be putting up my collection on soklseueank in the very near future (when I have a new computer).

I'm not gonna list them all but Oasis have a tonne of EPs, most of which were cribbed into a couple of boxed sets. Lots of good singles in there, some of which were probably on The Master Plan.

Some of my favorites:

Inspiral Carpets - Cool As Fuck EP

Luna - Indian Summer

Ride - Today Forever EP

Pedro the Lion - The Only Reason I Feel Secure

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

np: Fiery Furnaces - EP

There's also one 7" - Beach Song or something. Aren't the songs tacked on to Souvlaki (Some Velvet Morning cover + 3 others) the same as the songs off that 5 EP?

They're all avaliable here too

Bee OK · **Posted:** Sun Aug 21, 2005 5:52 am

I did put back the new collection (14.95 Amoeba Berkeley) because I couldn’t justify buying Souvlaki* for a third time…

edit - thanks splates

5 EP CD1

In Mind
Good Day Sunshine*
Missing You*
Country Rain*

5 EP CD2

In Mind Bandulu Remix (Out Mind)
In Mind Reload Remix (The 147 Take)
