This document discusses the Princeton Record Exchange record store in Princeton, New Jersey. It defines an EP as a music release shorter than a full album but longer than a single, typically 4-6 tracks. It notes the store carries vinyl LPs, which are longer than 10-12 songs and have both A and B sides. While the store doesn't host many events, it did have one last month. Recommended releases mentioned include The 1975 and King Krule's album "The Ooz". The reflection expresses this would be a good store for an indie band's release due to its community status and love of music.

2. Extended Play “Ep”
The length of the project
does not exceed the length
of 13 mins. Which is easily
shorter than a full length
project and longer than a
single.

3. This is a long play LP because, the length of
the album exceeds the length of 10-12
songs. As well as the vinyl having both an A
and B side.
The Ooz

4. Events
they don't host many in store
events other than a few pops
ups here and there though
they did relay the message
that they had a prior event
the last month though they
did not dive into what the
event was and for.

7. Promo
• Due to the outdated ways of
traditional promotion a lot of
artists opt to not use a record
store for a means of
advertisement because it is
generally a dead medium to
those not part of the artists
“1000 true fans”

8. Reflection:I would use this store for an indie bands release, the few
reasons being that the store is a staple within the community and the
absolute love for music everyone holds within a store as great ar PREX.
