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.

Cut time is basically Common time cut in half.

Common time is 4/4 time. Which is 4 beats per measure, one beat equal to one quarter note.

Cut time is 2/2 time. Two beats a measure, one beat equal to one half note.

The only difference between the two is the way that the rythym is counted. Each one dictates one whole note, two half notes, four quarter notes, or eight eighth notes per measure.

In common time , four quarters notes would be counted as, 1 2 3 4

In cut time, four quarter notes would be coutned as 1 + 2 +

Cut time is used for fast paced songs. If you want four quarter notes to be played very rapidly, insetead of using common time (or 4/4 time) to count each quarter note, it is easier to use cut time (2/2 time) and count every other note.
