I don't think the term 'album' has anything to do with the
format it's printed on... An album is usually just a release
that has more tunes than an EP or single release ;) But usually
an album is a compilation of tunes from a certain period of time
that somehow have something that connects them...this is not
always the case mind you, but usually an album forms a whole,
much more than an EP/12" does...
