What is the difference between an LP and an EP?

The main difference between an LP (Long Play) and an EP (Extended Play) is their duration. LPs typically contain a full-length album with multiple tracks on each side, while EPs are shorter releases with fewer tracks, often used for singles, compilations, or shorter albums. LPs usually play at 33⅓ revolutions per minute (RPM), while EPs and singles typically play at 45 RPM.
