The Echo Numbering System
Nearly all Echo releases start with the prefix EC with a following H for albums and an S for singles, though due to the number of formats for each release, each different media has additional characters in the catalogue number.
This is the format used for each different type of media:

- CD + DVD Album - ECHDV
- Vinyl LP - ECHLP
- Cassette Album - ECHMC
- SACD Album - ECHSACD
- 7" Single - ECS (where there is a second 7" format ECSX is used)
- 10" Single - ECST
- 12" Single - ECSY (where there is a second 12" format ECSYX is used)
- CD Single - ECSCD
- Maxi CD - ECSCX (commonly used when a second CD format is present)
- Cassette Single - ECSMC

Famous quotes containing the words echo, numbering and/or system:
“I cease my song for thee,
From my gaze on thee in the west, fronting the west, communing with thee,
O comrade lustrous with silver face in the night.
Yet each to keep and all, retrievements out of the night,
The song, the wondrous chant of the grey-brown bird,
And the tallying chant, the echo aroused in my soul,
With the lustrous and drooping star with the countenance full of woe,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The task he undertakes
Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control—”indoctrination” we might say—exercised through the mass media.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
