Where I can find the meaning of "Record Album"? you cannot give me the answer from wikipedia please...

I need fast because I got my language homework and I didn't know what the true meaning of record album...!!!

That's a really odd choice of subject category, to post a question in the topic of the one resource you forbid people from using to answer your question.

A record "album" is a compilation of songs by an artist or artists on a long playing (LP) phonograph album. With the demise of records, album was then used to describe any compilation of songs, whether on 8-track or cassette. Album is used as opposed to "single" since in the 50's and 60's, songs were often released on 45 rpm records as "singles" to get a song played and popular (although there were always 2 songs on a "single" which never made sense to me). So a "Single" was on 45 rpm records, multiple songs (usually 6-10) were on LP (33 rpm) records and called an album. After the advent of CDs, some CD singles were released, but they are now quite rare. Album is still used to describe a compilation of an artist's songs, whether it is on CD or available as a download.

Today we can buy one CD with multiple songs of varying length. Earlier in history people bought 78 RPM records that would only play for about 3 minutes. They were sold in packs of several records in sleeves, like a photo album. You could open up the album and flip through the pages (like a photo album only with records) and pull out individual records from each page and play the songs on it.

AT 52 YEARS OLD, I BOUGHT REORD ALBUMS since 1968 and then as the 70s drifted into the1980s, digital cd's replaced the album gradually; recorded signals were transfered to a master 'wax' disk that were transferred onto vinal for albums...................the advantage was holding a huge foldout that opened up with lyrics and pics[usually] and at that point in the mid 70s I would tranfer them to cassete to play in my car. cd"s had vitually no noise factor[hiss] there was no needle to vinal contact.... and many album masters were released onto cd"s with noticable improvement on the originals. Nowadays i still play all 3 fomats ..albums-cassettes-disks..........rock and roll...................except for 8- tracks......more nostolgic than anything, since the high end [cymbals and other instruments wer limited on playback due to the width of the recording tape and slow playback speed. Hope this helps you!
