In music, an album is a series of musical works such as songs or instrumentals that are recorded in a studio to be put in a permanent form as a phonograph record, a cassette, or a compact disk. In Photography and the graphic arts, an album is a collection of photographs, drawings, and the like, bound together in some form. The use of the term album in music derives from its use with photographs. When 78 rpm shellac disks were the standard means of distributing sound recordings, a single song or instrumental piece could be fit on one side, and excerpts from a Broadway musical, an Opera, or other extended work were available only on a series of 78 rpm records. These could be bought individually or as a complete set in a bound "album." When recordings moved to 33.3 rpm and several songs, or a whole musical could fit on one record, the result continued to be called an "album."
