Caring for Your LP Records Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS)

by Kathleen Harrison Sound recordings in the format of grooved discs came into being in the late nineteenth century, but it was not until the late 1940s that vinyl long-playing (LP) phonograph records came into production. LP records quickly became a popular format for sound recordings, especially with the release of LPs with stereophonic sound in the 1950s. While the LP disc has long since fallen out of popularity as a recording format, it has seen a small resurgence in some areas of the recording industry.
