4 track EPs seem to have been widespread before two-track 45's took over. Certainly there are millions of the things from the early 60s (and often later) here in Spain, and they often have great covers and artwork. They seem to have been much more widespread on the continent than in the UK or US.
Yet I tend not to go for them unless they've got something I really want. Sound quality's the main suspicion, I think, but I'm not sure that I've just been spoiled by 45s. Prices also seem to show that collectors prefer a 45 to a crowded extended play - the sought-after ones all seem to be early recordings by the usual names - Beatles, Stones etc rather than DJ grails.
What do you reckon about 7" EPs. Any cool raers? Oh yeah, and post some pretty pictures. Here's a couple I've picked up in the last month.

- excellent versions of "frenesi" and "misirlou"
