The only linked streaming service, which was added when the release was initially added, is Amazon but currently goes to the full length album Amazon.com: FUN : Garth Brooks: Digital Music
I did some searching online but couldn’t find anything to suggest that there was a 5-track EP either. Maybe it was some weird Amazon exclusive that’s since been removed? There’s a Wayback Machine snapshot from 2020-12-16, but Amazon annoyingly just served the crawler a captcha, and the 2021-03-22 snapshot is the full album. Adding @tigerman325 to see if he remembers more details (see Edit #63490481 - MusicBrainz).
Yes. Legit release. It was an Amazon exclusive (which all Garth Brooks digital releases are). It totally existed at the URL I’ve attached. I’ve never added a bogus release. That was the artwork as well. This was a 2018 release. The full album that it forwards to now is a 2020 album. Not uncommon for digital EPs/singles to come out in promotion & be removed when the full length album comes out. It can be now “withdrawn”. But it was an official release.
When I added it it was presented as one release exactly as I added it. Not singles. I’ve seen albums released one track at a time, but that’s usually over a few weeks, or a couple of months. Not 3 years.
Okay. Looking into this further. I added it in Aug. 2019. So, the date I have on there was taken from the date Amazon just had on there. Which was likely just the first track per Wikipedia. Looks like this might be the same exact release as Fun and it did indeed just get released one track at a time and that was the total number of tracks that were available when I added it. The cover art was used as the official cover art hadn’t come out. Maybe this should be edited to reflect the full album and an annotation added about the long period of first track to final track release. Only reason I think it might be considered the same release is that Amazon obviously does since they kept the same ASIN.
Update: @chaban, I believe has explained these types of slow rollout releases to me before. I just can’t remember what they are called. But I believe now this is one of those.
Amazon is such a royal PITA sometimes, I’ve got a few samplers that I’ve added which were exclusives and they are seemingly non existent to try and prove that they exist
