double album
Extended musical collection
A double album is a music release spanning two discs—originally two vinyl records, now two CDs or their digital equivalent.
The format typically signals an ambitious or sprawling work: The White Album was a double album.
Some double albums are concept pieces; others simply contain more material than fits on a single disc.
