About Vintage LP Records

The LP, or long-play, 33 1/3 rpm (rotations per minute) vinyl phonograph record was introduced by Columbia Records in 1948, and lasted as the primary medium for recorded music until its displacement the 1980s.

Left for dead after the advent of the compact disc, vinyl LPs have recently been making a comeback, both vintage original pressings and new issues. Call it nostalgia, or maybe its the cover art, or better sound quality, or wide availability at low prices, or that cracking sound before the music starts, but there's more collector interest in LP records than ever.
