It was from this that in medieval and modern times, album came to denote a book of blank pages in which verses, autographs, sketches, photographs and the like are collected.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> This in turn led to the modern meaning of an album as a collection of audio recordings issued as a single item. The first audio albums were actually published by the publishers of photograph albums. Single <a href="/wiki/78_rpm_record" class="mw-redirect" title="78 rpm record">78 rpm records</a> were sold in a brown heavy paper sleeve with a large hole in the center so the record's label could be seen. The fragile records were stored on their sides. By the mid-1920s, photo album publishers sold collections of empty sleeves of heavier paper in bound volumes with stiff covers slightly larger than the 10" popular records. (Classical records measured 12".) On the paper cover in small type were the words "Record Album". Now records could be stored vertically with the record not touching the shelf, and the term was applied to the collection.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In the early nineteenth century, "album" was occasionally used in the titles of some classical music sets, such as <a href="/wiki/Robert_Schumann" title="Robert Schumann">Robert Schumann</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Album_for_the_Young" title="Album for the Young">Album for the Young</a> Opus 68, a set of 43 short pieces.<a href="#cite_note-Mendelssohn_And_Schumann-6">[6]</a> With the advent of 78 rpm records in the early 1900s, the typical 10-inch disc could only hold about three minutes of sound per side, so almost all popular recordings were limited to around three minutes in length.<a href="#cite_note-WRD-20140711-10">[10]</a> Classical-music and spoken-word items generally were released on the longer 12-inch 78s, playing around 4–5 minutes per side. For example, in 1924, <a href="/wiki/George_Gershwin" title="George Gershwin">George Gershwin</a> recorded a drastically shortened version of his new seventeen-minute composition <a href="/wiki/Rhapsody_in_Blue" title="Rhapsody in Blue">Rhapsody in Blue</a> with <a href="/wiki/Paul_Whiteman" title="Paul Whiteman">Paul Whiteman</a> and His Orchestra. The recording was issued on both sides of a single record, Victor 55225 and ran for 8m 59s.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> By 1910, though some European record companies had issued albums of complete operas and other works, the practice of issuing albums was not widely taken up by American record companies until the 1920s. By about 1910, bound collections of empty sleeves with a <a href="/wiki/Paperboard" title="Paperboard">paperboard</a> or <a href="/wiki/Leather" title="Leather">leather</a> cover, similar to a photograph album, were sold as record albums that customers could use to store their records (the term "record album" was printed on some covers). These albums came in both 10-inch and 12-inch sizes. The covers of these bound books were wider and taller than the records inside, allowing the record album to be placed on a shelf upright, like a book, suspending the fragile records above the shelf and protecting them. In the 1930s, record companies began issuing collections of 78s by one performer or of one type of music in specially assembled albums, typically with artwork on the front cover and liner notes on the back or inside cover. Most albums included three or four records, with two sides each, making six or eight compositions per album.<a href="#cite_note-alancross.ca-7">[7]</a> By the mid-1930s, record companies had adopted the album format for classical music selections that were longer than the roughly eight minutes that fit on both sides of a classical 12" 78 rpm record. Initially the covers were plain, with the name of the selection and performer in small type. In 1938, Columbia Records hired the first graphic designer in the business to design covers, others soon followed and colorful album covers cover became an important selling feature.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> By the later '30s, record companies began releasing albums of previously released recordings of popular music in albums organized by performer, singers or bands, or by type of music, <a href="/wiki/Boogie-woogie" title="Boogie-woogie">boogie-woogie</a>, for example.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] When Columbia introduced the Long Playing record format in 1948, it was natural the term album would continue. Columbia expected that the record size distinction in 78s would continue, with classical music on 12" records and popular music on 10" records, and singles on 78s. Columbia's first popular 10" LP in fact was Frank Sinatra's first album, the four-record eight-song <a href="/wiki/The_Voice_of_Frank_Sinatra" title="The Voice of Frank Sinatra">The Voice of Frank Sinatra</a>, originally issued in 1946.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> RCA's introduction of the smaller 45 rpm format later in 1948 disrupted Columbia's expectations. By the mid-1950s, 45s dominated the singles market and 12" LPs dominated the album market and both 78s and 10" LPs were discontinued. In the 1950s albums of popular music were also issued on 45s, sold in small heavy paper-covered "gate-fold" albums with multiple discs in sleeves or in sleeves in small boxes. This format disappeared around 1960. Sinatra's "The Voice" was issued in 1952 on two extended play 45s, with two songs on each side, in both packagings.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> The 10-inch and 12-inch <a href="/wiki/LP_record" title="LP record">LP record</a> (long play), or <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027">33+1⁄3 <a href="/wiki/Rpm" class="mw-redirect" title="Rpm">rpm</a> microgroove <a href="/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride" title="Polyvinyl chloride">vinyl</a> record, is a <a href="/wiki/Gramophone_record" class="mw-redirect" title="Gramophone record">gramophone record</a> format introduced by <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> in 1948.<a href="#cite_note-auto-15">[15]</a> A single LP record often had the same or similar number of tunes as a typical album of 78s, and it was adopted by the record industry as a standard format for the "album".<a href="#cite_note-alancross.ca-7">[7]</a> Apart from relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of <a href="/wiki/Stereophonic_sound" title="Stereophonic sound">stereophonic sound</a> capability, it has remained the standard format for vinyl albums.

Online music stores allow buyers to create their own albums by selecting songs themselves; bonus tracks may be included if a customer buys a whole album rather than just one or two songs from the artist. The song is not necessarily free nor is it available as a stand-alone download, adding also to the incentive to buy the complete album. In contrast to <a href="/wiki/Hidden_track" title="Hidden track">hidden tracks</a>, bonus tracks are included on track listings and usually do not have a gap of silence between other album tracks. Bonus tracks on CD or vinyl albums are common in Japan for releases by European and North American artists; since importing international copies of the album can be cheaper than buying a domestically released version, Japanese releases often feature bonus tracks to incentivize domestic purchase.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><h2 id="Audio_formats">Audio formats</h2></div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_audio_formats" title="Timeline of audio formats">Timeline of audio formats</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Non-audio_printed_format">Non-audio printed format</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Sheet_music" title="Sheet music">Sheet music</a></div> Commercial sheet music is published in conjunction with the release of a new album (studio, compilation, soundtrack, etc.).
