[edit] Single debate
It's clear that this release was not a single but an EP. Why should it be listed as a single here?,
[edit] reply
OK, I actually own a real copy and two fakes. I know its supposed to be an EP and is well known as that but is there any official proof that it is actually an EP ? And record industry rules are that an EP is 5-8 songs I believe. This has 4.Many Nirvana singles have 4 tracks. It comes in a slimline 'single' case where as EP's usually come in an album 'jewel' case (like Hormoaning does). And is it an album ? no it isn't. Which is it more like, an album or single ? Unless you were told it was an EP, it has all the charachteristics of a single. It doesn't have any charachteristics of an EP let alone an Album. Maybe officially an EP, but here it fits the singles section more than the albums.
In the UK EP's are included in the singles charts, for example Mettalica Garage days revisted EP(6 songs). Some EP's with more songs will be included in the album charts. As in all countries if an EP sells enough to chart it will be included in either the singles OR albums chart but not both. There has never been a chart anywhere for just EPs. Hormoaning was an EP and included in the Japananese albums. In the UK there have been various EP's calssed either as singles or albums. I know "Blew" was released on an underground label but had it been a major release on Geffen and charted it would have been classed as a single with out doubt.
