In 1887, the first musical record appeared. It was placed on a turntable and played by a needle. At the time, the record was spun at a speed of 90 or 100 revolutions per minute. Forty years later, the 78 rpm record was used instead, which therefore spun slightly slower. The problem with this record was that the maximum length of music that could be recorded on each side was approximately 3 minutes, which, for decades, determined the type of music that could be recorded and therefore listened to. Fortunately, in 1948, Columbia Records invented the microgroove record, which was of better quality and played at only 33 rpm. Because it rotated more slowly, the playing time of a LP was significantly longer, going from 3 to 30 minutes per side. Jazz musicians could finally develop their famous solos. It was also at this time that the concept of the album was born with Frank Sinatra. He decided to organize the different pieces on his records so that together, they told a story. A year later, the 45 rpm record arrived. This record was clearly designed to compete with the LP: it cost less than $1. But the 45 rpm record had its limitations: it could only contain one 5-minute song per side... It was the beginning of an epic battle that would last more than 30 years! And that's how we ended up with an album on one side and a single on the other. And the singles, which are inexpensive, are very popular with young people. They allow the dissemination of another style of music: rock 'n' roll.
