Are you young by any chance? Prior to MP3, prior to CD, and prior to casette, there was vinyl records - singles and Long Players.

There were/areE Ps as well Extended Play. They used to have 2 or 3 tracks on each side. 45 rpm

No I am 27 I know what vinyl is and that they were available at 331/3, 45 and 72 I think, as my brothers and I used to play the records at 72 to make people sound like the chipmonks or slow them down to distort the song, but I never really thought until now about what the LP stood for. Did you have an 8track too?

Thank you for putting me in my place and letting me know.

I also know what LP is on my VHS recorder the thing that came out before a DVD!!

I'm only 40 yet I once came across a record player with 16 & 1/6 rpm! Put a 7" single on at that speed and it sounded demonic!
