Ancillary (Digipak)

Researching EP (Extended Play) releases they can be defined by the length/total of tracks they contain.

Popular with Indie and Punk musicians like 'TubeLord' and 'Patrick Wolf' an EP is a way of creating a release with more potency than a single and acts as a sampler for the musician if they are just establishing. They are popular with the teenage market as they are cheaper to purchase (lower production costing) and the accessibility they have, they aren't a full albums  and therefore can be played in succession and their entirety without limiting the experience of the consumer or boring them.

A Definition would be :

'An EP contains 4 tracks totaling 25 minutes of material not including remixes/remakes of other tracks on the listing.'

Therefore on my ancillary task I will propose the track listing of:

  1. Breast Is Best
  2. Herpes
  3. Who'd Want That In Them?
  4. In-Your-Endo
The track listing represents that of a novelty act, the omnipresent innuendo like values of the tracks lend them,self to the work of Weird Al Yonkovich the parody artist musician who found the majority of his fame through the internet and his novelty performance.
