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.
Examples
The vinyl enthusiast carefully placed the LP on the turntable, preparing to enjoy the full-length album.
The band's latest release is available in various formats, including CD, digital download, and a limited edition LP.
