What was the first LP?

The first LP (long-playing) record was introduced by Columbia Records in 1948. It was a 33 1/3 RPM vinyl disc that could hold about 20-30 minutes of music per side, significantly extending playback time compared to the earlier 78 RPM records. The first LP album released was "Brahms: Symphony No. 1," conducted by Artur Rodziński with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. This innovation revolutionized the music industry by allowing for more extensive and diverse album formats.
