45 RPM
Jukebox record speed
A 45 RPM is a vinyl record designed to spin at 45 revolutions per minute, typically seven inches in diameter with a single song on each side.
The format dominated pop music from the 1950s through the 1980s, making "45" synonymous with a hit single: I bought the 45 the day it came out.
The large center hole required an adapter for standard turntables.
