There isn't a simple answer to the question because the answer is different for different time periods and formats. First, definitions: LP= Long Playing; EP= Extended Play. When using the term "lp" you are generally referring to the standard 12" record with 4 or 5 (more or less) songs on each side.
Back in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the first "EPs" were produced. These looked like a standard 7" 45rpm single with the big hole in the center. However, the EP was produced to have MORE than 1 song per side and still be played at 45rpm speed. Most of these EPs have 2 songs per side. Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra released a lot of their songs on EP, and The Beatles released 1 or 2 in the US...Very Collectible!!! Today, the EP could stand for 12" singles that have extended remixes as well on the record, especially if they are meant to be played at 45rpm.

What does EP and promo mean on a CD or vinyl record?
Here are answers and opinions from WikiAnswers Contributors: * If I am not mistaken, EP means extended play on vinyls and promo means promotional copy on both. * EP when referring to a Compact Disc is usually a five songs or less demo type of thing. Not sure how it ended up being EP, when you have "extended play," but I think it was something back in the LP vinyl days, when a song was too long to be a single but too short to be an LP, LP being what they call an entire album. So, an EP promo is exactly that - a band recorded some songs that are probably their strongest material, released them as a demo (PROMOtional) to get somebody interested. Some of these may also say "for promotional use only" and are meant for radio stations, producers, etc, and not the general public. Here is a good article which breaks down how a band should choose between a Demo, EP, or Album for their release: http://www.servethesong.net/promotion/demo-ep-or-album/

What is the meaning of EP in music?
EP stands for "extended play" as EP records are longer than original single 45 records, usually containing 4 tracks. Artists usually release an EP before the full album to give the fans a taste of what is coming. The EP may include anywhere from 2 to 10 songs depending on the length of the full album. A good example of an EP containing 4 tracks was the Beatles' 'Twist and Shout (EP)'. The EP format is also used as a low-cost way of showcasing new artists. Historically, EP records were often similar to seven inch single records but played at 33 1/3 rpm rather than 45 rpm.

What is the difference between SP and lP?
Since this is a VCR question, it all has to do with the speed the tape runs through the VCR. The faster the tape, the higher the quality of the video you're recording because the recorder is able to put more picture information on the tape. SP, or standard speed will allow a VHS tape to record for a period of 2 hours and will provide the highest quality picture. EP (which has for the most part, been dropped by the manufacturers) would record for four hours and LP, which is the slowest speed, will record for six hours, but with degraded video. This is of course, based on the standard VHS cassette. They do make an 8 hour tape, which will run at approximately 2 hrs and 40 minutes at SP, 5 hours and 40 minutes at EP, and eight hours at lp. Most stores don't carry the T-160 tapes and they are a bit more expensive. Most VCR's manufactured today will still play an EP recorded tape, but cannot record at that speed.
