According to the All Music Guide...
LP is used as an abbreviation for long-playing disc or long-playing record. EP is an abbreviation for "extended play." These vinyl discs have a short history but had a gainful market. These releases were "cut" on the standard 45rpm (revolutions per minute) discs but the charted release was not the version played by radio jocks. Standard pop-radio releases last about three and a half minutes but the band's version, sometimes even the full stage version, "extends" from seven to twelve minutes. You can find definitions for more music terms at www.allmusic.com - click "glossary" on the left.

Now when people talk about EPs they usually mean a album with about 4-8 songs on it. I f it has more it's usually called an LP.
