What is LP Version?

The version on vinyl, or a record (the LP at 33.3 RPM). I remember when there were 45 RPM records, usually just 1 song each side, and LP records or albums, which had the Long Playing version of songs, with, sometimes, repeated choruses, etc...Earlier vinyl records had 78 RPM records also.


Is vinyl the same as LP?

Assuming you're talking about records and not gas or something else...yes. Long Play (LP) albums were made of vinyl, but so were the 45s in their last years. Earlier records were made of a harder plastic. "Vinyl" refers to anything that goes round and round on a turntable and is read by a needle.

Vinyl records are called such because of the material Lp's (33 1/3 RPM) and 45's RPM records are made out of. Before the creation of Lp's in 1948, most records were pressed with shellac and more properly called gramophone records.

How much are old vinyl records worth from the 30 and 4o 50?

It depends on the condition of the record, and if it's an LP, the cover. As well, it depends on the collectability of the record itself. If you have a question about a particular record, it would be easier to answer. Check out a used record store and ask them what they would pay for "album x". Most 2d hand stores or antique stores are offering vinyl LP's at $1.00 and they aren't selling very fast.


What is a vinyl?

If you are talking about vinyl as in someone saying "I love that song, I have it on vinyl", then it is a record pressed on a vinyl material. It is also called an album or an LP (long playing). Vinyl records stopped being produced after the invention of 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, CDs and DVDs. They can still be played today on a record player or turntable attached to the stereo system.
