Long playing -- as opposed to a 78 which didn't have as much music on it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What does LP stand for?
Hee!
sorry....
Do you know what a "12 inch" is?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What does LP stand for?
Long Player.
As opposed to EP - Extended Player. (Which is shorter.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
What does LP stand for? Ell Pee. I can't work it out. (I do know what a record is, and am just old enough to say "record" and "album" even when I mean "contents of a CD.")
Long playing, innit?
I used to know that, as well as EP.
Y'all remember EPs, right? RIGHT??!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
As Scrappy notes, it was a distinct media from the 78 which was very short. The distinction being...longerness.

For some reason, we had some 78s that were all about business something or other back when I was a kid.
Waste of a record.

Plus 78s were made of Bakelite or somesuch brittle plastic.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

There are a few not 10 feet from me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And "album" comes from a bunch of individual non-LP records packaged together.
Right?

I have no idea where mine are. Lost, perhaps. They might have been shit my brother fucked up.
