Jurassic 5 EP was the first official release by alternative hip hop group Jurassic 5. It was an EP that included much of the material that would later appear on Jurassic 5 LP.

The first version to be released contained 9 tracks and was available in CD single or double-12" single formats. It was released in October 1997 on the band's own short-lived label, Rumble/Pickininny Records.

Although the label only released that one record, it did give the band a platform and allowed them to be heard.

"I urge every independent artist to put something out first. Prove yourself to yourself, to people that pick up the records, then the people (labels) will coming looking for you. If they know that you can score, they gonna pass the ball to you." - Akil, taken from [1]

Jurassic 5 LP was Jurassic 5's debut album. The material from the EP plus a few additional tracks were repackaged as an album and released by Pan Records as Jurassic 5 in 1998.

It is entitled simply Jurassic 5, although in some listings it is referred to as Jurassic 5 LP, as "LP" appears on the album sleeve (including the CD version). This also serves to distinguish it from the Jurassic 5 EP.

The following year, Jurassic 5 were picked up a major label, Interscope Records. Their first release on Interscope was the re-issue of the Jurassic 5 EP in an 8 track version in 1999. This had the same listing as the original EP, excluding the final track Blacktop Beat.

Thereafter, they released their major label debut album, Quality Control in June 2000.
