EzraDuring the 60s, there were basically two types of records you could by - both vinyl, that you played on a turntable called a phonograph. A "45", so called because it was rotated at 45 revolutions per minute on the turntable, had one song on each side, and generally cost about 49 cents or so, if I remember. An album, which was played at 33 rpm, was a couple of bucks if it was a regular album, or maybe around $4.99 if it was a 'double album', with two records, such as Cream's "Wheels of Fire" or the Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore" album.

What is LP Version?
The version on vinyl, or a record (the LP at 33.3 RPM). I remember when there were 45 RPM records, usually just 1 song each side, and LP records or albums, which had the Long Playing version of songs, with, sometimes, repeated choruses, etc...Earlier vinyl records had 78 RPM records also.
What does 45 RPM stand for in music?
45 revolutions per minute. This denotes the speed at which a turntable should be spinning in order to play a 45 record disc. when referring to records such as 45 RPM the RPM means: R= Rotations P= Per M= Minute these refer to the speed at which the disc was recorded and will be turned while being played on a turntable other speeds were also 78RPM (very old and very hard to find anymore) and 33 RPM which was the other common speed when records were the popular the 45's were about 8" in diameter and the 33's were about 11"or 12" in diameter. Hope this little bit of music history answers your question and fills your mind The above answer is pretty much on the money....I'll add my two cents worth........ I believe that RPM stands for REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE. The old fashion record PLAYERS that played the "78's" were called phonographs and had only one speed- 78 RPM's. The more recent record PLAYERS usually had two speeds- 45 (RPM) and 33 1/3 (RPM). They could play the smaller vinyl records (or disks)- the "45's"- AND the larger vinyl records called "ALBUMS" or "LP's" (short for "long playing") at 33 1/3 RPM. The 45's had only one song on each side, while the LP's had multiple songs on each side. Now, everything is on a CD, but many times they still refer to them as "albums". REAL VINYL records and albums are not sold anymore, unless you go to a specialty record store that carries "antiques"!! <<<adr>>>
Vinyl records make how many rounds per minute?
there are several speeds for vinyl records, but for common formats it is 33 rpm, 45 rpm, 78 rpm and actually 33 1/3 rpm. that's what they were called 45's because they made 45 revolutions or rounds but it's actually revolutions per minute.
When did they stop making 78 RPM records?
The most common ones, the 10" records, plays 3 minutes, but there are slight differences between records. *************** Yep! 12-inch a little over 4 minutes. Now before the 78 speed was standard and the sizes of the records were standardized it was all over the place. There were all kinds of experiments in speed and record size to get more time on a record. But by the late teens and around 1920 the 78 speed and 10-inch or 12-inch records was standard.
What is the value of Al Jolson records?
The value of a album depends on the condition of the album and the particular album, as well as other factors. Old Al Jolson albums are generally valued at $5.00 to $63.00.
