Favourite EP or Mini-album

[POINT_BLANK_TEESSIDE]

I’ve always tended to prefer EPs or mini-albums over full length LPs. Something a bit cooler about them and easier to digest. I’ll start off with two obvious ones..

The Clash - ‘The Cost of Living’
iDLEWiLD - ‘Captain’

 

[rkangel]

Any of Bis's EPs.

 

[futureboy]

One Day at a Time by Symposium. It's miles better than the full-length album they subsequently released.

 

[Brian Marwood]

Geek Love by Bang Bang Machine

 

[kuepper]

The Floors - Truths and Distortions

 

[kuepper]

Low's Christmas mini album

 

[Lefty]

Good question.

Three immediately spring to mind.

The Wedding Present - Mini

 

[kuepper]

It probably doesn't get any better than this tho, 6 track EP later released as an album with added tracks

[Grimble-grumble]

Beaster by Sugar

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

Motorhead - Golden Years Live.
Jason and the Scorchers - Fervor.
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies.

 

[Piccadilly Day Tripper]

The Sunshine Underground - Everything Right Now EP - four banging mid-2000's indie songs that they never improved on.

 

[jetpropelledgiraffe]

The first few Ride EPs were excellent...or Inspiral Carpets 'Dung 4'

 

[POINT_BLANK_TEESSIDE]

One Day at a Time by Symposium. It's miles better than the full-length album they subsequently released.

Very true, I always tried to kid myself that I liked the debut LP but it was a huge disappointment.

Live they were a force to be reckon with and saw them a couple of times and remember speaking to the singer Ross about the single they released after the LP called ‘Killing Position’. The band put it out on their own label which was cool.

[parnabyscrosses]

Alex Turner- Submarine
