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:
“A work of art is an echo chamber which repeats what people say about it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The task he undertakes
Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
