Extended play Musical recording longer than a single, but shorter than a full album

An extended play record, often referred to as an EP, is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single, but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. Contemporary EPs generally contain a minimum of three tracks and maximum of six tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well.

Michael Gregory "Mike" Lee is an American musician, and guitarist, who primarily plays a Pop and contemporary Worship music style of music. He has released two extended plays, Awakening Hearts in 2014 and All I Need in 2015, both independently released. In 2017 he released an 11 track LP Worth It.
