LP= Long Playing. Originally, back in the early to mid 1900's, records were played at 78 rpm (Revolutions per Minute), and you only could fit one song on each side of the record. These are commonly called 78s. The earliest of these records had the recording on one side only...the other side was left blank! Around 1948, a process was invented where one could slow the speed of the record down, and narrow the grooves, and thereby fit more than one song on to each side of a 10" or 12" disc. These were considered "long playing" records, and so the term "lp" was coined. (By the way, the term "album" was coined from taking more than 1 78 and releasing it in a book form...or an "album"). A Double lp simply is to release a recording onto 2 long playing records. One of the biggest selling double lps released was Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive", and you can find one at any garage sale or flea market!

You are looking for the name of the album that Marielle Mathieu recorded A Brasilia and Priez Pour Moi It was recorded by Barclay Records?
did you mean Mireille Mathieu? Mireille Mathieu recorded "A Brasilia" and "Priez pour moi" on an LP titled "Mireille Mathieu" in part of the world. I wish you good fortune in finding the correct LP as it may be known by a different title in your part of the world. The difficulty with tracing songs of international stars, like Ms. Mathieu, is that the same LP may be given different titles in different areas of the world by different record companies. For example, "Mireille Mathieu" is the name of three different albums on LP and one on CD in various parts of the world. Polydor Records titled the LP which contained "A Brasilia" and "Priez pour moi" as "Bonjour Mireille", while Barclay Records titled it as "Mireille Mathieu". Barclay Records also gave that title ("Mireille Mathieu") to at least one other LP. Additionally, there are at least two LPs titled "Bonjour Mireille" by different record companies.
