What is an "LP"?

An LP, or long play record, is a type of vinyl record designed to hold more music than earlier formats. It usually contains a full album's worth of songs, with multiple tracks on each side. This allows for a longer listening experience compared to single or extended play records. LPs are valued for their rich sound quality and are often used for complete music albums or extensive collections.
