long player

Full-length vinyl disc

A long player is a vinyl phonograph record designed to play at 33⅓ revolutions per minute, typically holding 20-25 minutes of music per side.

The format dominated album releases from the 1950s through the 1980s.

Often abbreviated LP, the term distinguishes these records from singles and EPs.

I found a mint-condition long player at the estate sale.
