It's a standard phonograph record, to be played at 33 1/3 rpm. LP stands for long-playing or long play, to distinguish it from the earlier standard: the smaller, faster and thus doubly shorter 78 rpm records.verena wrote: Btw, I'd like to know what an "LP" is. Anyone care to tell me ?
And I am a hundred years old for knowing this, apparently.
All record players of that ancient era had 3 speeds to choose from, 33 1/3, 45, or 78. Actually my Dad had a decent collection of Jazz on 78s that he played when we were kids. The only one I remember loving was a Bunny Berigan record, I think it might have been called Take It, Bunny! I suspect some of them would have been valuable if he'd kept them.
