LP stands for long playing. This was when albums took up both sides of a record that was played at 33 1/3 rpm. The 45 got its name as it was played at 45 rpm and , since it was so small, usually only had two songs, one on the front and one on the back.

Long Play. This was because the old 45s only had one or two songs for each side. Once the records got bigger they could hold four or five good songs per side. This is why most of the classic rock compact discs have exacty 8 songs each.

Long Playing vs the singles with a big hole which needed a spyder to go in the middle.
