You have to go back to the earliest recordings of musical works that would not fit on one record. For a while they were sold separately, but record stores also sold blank albums that had pockets for a dozen records or so. By 1925 the Victor Talking Machine Co. was selling large works like symphonies in specially printed albums, but the practice may be earlier than that date. When the vinyl LP was first marketed in 1948, Columbia wanted to avoid the notion that a single record wasn't worth four or five times as much as the usual records, so they referred to LPs as "albums" and the word stuck forever. You may be thinking of vinyl LPs, but actually large works like operas were marketed in albums with pockets just as the old records were.
