 Topic: What Are They LP or Vinyl?
Posted: April 26 2014 at 10:28 |
I grew up on the 45s and the 33 1/3. They were singles and albums. Of course the singles were typically double sided. I think it's probably a generational thing, but I grew up with LPs or records as we called them. Hey you kids get off my lawn!!!

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Here we used to call LP as Long Play, which was made of vinyl material, so i don't know, what's the difference ??

I suppose you can have vinyls that aren't LPs?

Depends who I am talking to...I flip flop between both. Generally I find from other people point of view the following.
LP = vinyl
Vinyl = LP
CD = CD

We called them both LP's and vinyl .....but saying vinyl didn't become popular until cd's came out in my group.

I use both terms on PA, but in real life Denmark it's 'plader' and that has never changed.

LP's are made from Vinyl - when talking in music terms, vinyl will always be the good ole long player, and not the latest floor covering of your sex-dungeon.........

An LP is one type of vinyl record.
What bugs me is middle-aged men who talk about an album and then say "YES, I SAID ALBUM, okay?!?!? I'm OLD!!!!!!" like people don't still say "album" now. "Back in MY day..."

This happens to me a lot. I just nod like I think they know what they're talking about.

Surprisingly enough, there are many, at least late-teens that look upon vinyl as an ancient relic.....
