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 Album - ECHCD (for a limited or double-disc version of a CD album ECHCX is used)
- 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:
“To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking—and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“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)
