== Album ==
An album is a collection of audio recordings issued as a single item on CD, record, audio tape, or another medium. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78-rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photograph album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl LP records played at 33 1/3 rpm.
History
The concept of an album began with the advent of the phonograph and the gramophone. Early albums were simply collections of 78-rpm records packaged together. The introduction of the LP (long-playing) record by Columbia Records in 1948 revolutionized the format, allowing for longer recordings and more elaborate packaging.
