EP stands for "Extended Play." It refers to a kind of vinyl record that's longer than a single but shorter than a full-length (LP or "Long Play") album. Since it's on a CD, that CD was probably originally issued as an Extended Play record on vinyl.

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/
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.
A band's EP is usually a batch of 3-6 songs that are released before a full-length album comes out, or during the wait time between a band's album releases. ///Reasons independent bands do this: - Lack of money. It's less expensive to record 4 songs than to record 10. They can then use sales from the EP to help pay for recording a full-length record. - Lack of material. A new band might only have 5 songs written, but wants to start gaining exposure and have something to sell at concerts. - They're looking for a record label. If a band wants to find a record label to fund and release a record for them, they want to keep enough songs to still be able to record a full album of material, yet they need to release a few songs to gain "buzz" and attract the industry folks. ///Reasons record labels do this: - To test the market to see if sales are high enough of the EP to warrant paying for the recording of a full-length record. - To keep fans satisfied during long wait times between albums or because they have a batch of songs that don't particularly fit on the next record. - There was enough B-sides from the recording sessions to release an EP and make extra money. There are an infinite number of other reasons, but I believe these to be the main ones.
'EP' stands for 'Extended Play'. Its sort of like a mini-album with no more than 5 or 6 songs, maybe even less than that.
