An LP, or Longplay, is a type of vinyl record that typically plays at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute (RPM). It usually contains multiple tracks, allowing artists to showcase a full album of music. LPs became popular in the late 1940s and are known for their larger size compared to singles, which usually feature just one or two songs. LPs are cherished by music enthusiasts for their warm sound quality and nostalgic appeal. Collectors often enjoy the large album artwork and the tactile experience of handling records. Many artists, including The Beatles and Bob Dylan, have released iconic LPs that continue to influence music today.
