Supplemental context
The long-playing record made extended recorded listening available on a familiar physical disc. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, the LP became associated with albums as organized sequences rather than simply isolated songs. Future readers can consider the relationship between duration, packaging, domestic listening and collecting, while distinguishing the storage format from the many different musical works released on it.
Creator/community: Columbia Records development teams, musicians, record makers and listeners Place/era: United States introduction in 1948; subsequent international adoption
Context and limits
The disc, sleeve and background player are invented and contain no authentic recording or cover art. Groove geometry, playback speed and equipment are not tested, and no music is supplied. The original revival-data request remains separate from this card: no current sales figures or universal replacement of other formats are asserted.
