but isn't their a difference if the release is considered an ep and not a
single? i just wish more stuff was released here in the US, because buying
two UK import singles usually costs about $22.00 (tax included, of
course), whereas if they'd release both on one here it would probably only
cost @$10, and then you wouldn't have to load two CDs in your player to
hear one "single" is there a reason that the UK goes by the 30 minute rule
or whatever it is? it's a very interesting thing, although i'm sure the
artists don't mind too much, as they can sell twice the amount for the
same amount of effort.

thanks,
alan!
