* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: ''Extended Play'', Bryan Ferry's solo EP from 1976, initially stood out upon its release due to the fact that the EP format was considered all but dead by then-- the greater recognition of the album format spurred by Music/TheBeatles and Music/TheBeachBoys in the late 1960s resulted in [=EPs=] gradually falling out of favor throughout the next ten years, and by 1976 they were only largely used for promotional purposes. Ferry's ''Extended Play'' was one of the first [=EPs=] in ages to be a final artistic product rather than an advertisement. However, the remainder of the 1970s would see the EP gain a sharp uptick in popularity as a result of PunkRock, which gravitated towards the shorter format due to it complimenting both the terseness and the {{retraux}} nature of the genre. Today, modern audiences view ''Extended Play'' as nothing special in a music scene where [=EPs=] and even singles are once again seen as just as valid of artistic products as a full-length album.
