LP
Full album disc
LP stands for long-playing record, the vinyl format that held about 20-25 minutes of audio per side at 33⅓ revolutions per minute.
Though largely replaced by digital formats, LP persists among vinyl enthusiasts and has experienced a revival: I picked up a few LPs at the record store.
Musicians still use LP to distinguish a full-length album from shorter releases like EPs or singles.
