Surely most people aware of music of any type who have ever considered buying an album would know what "EP" meant? Isn't that lesson one? Is there anyone reading this who genuinely didn't know what it meant / implied.

I wouldn't bother explaining what an EP was. I fear you'd come across as condescending and - frankly - a bit simple.

Or maybe I'm wrong. I wonder if Kanye West explained to his fan base what an EP was when he released his first EP? Or if Cliff Richard did? They're the two to look to for this devilish decision.
