"The Voice of Frank Sinatra" Here the first commercial 10 inch 33 rpm Elpee (Long Extended Play) ”. "The Voice of Frank Sinatra" from 1946 was reissued in 1948 as a 10 "LP with catalog number 6001 CL." The Voice "started as a 78 rpm album. An album was then a collection of 78 rpm records in a composite booklet / folder album. To explain it easily, it looks like an old-fashioned photo album where you put records in. On March 4, 1946, Columbia Records Set C-112, a set of four 78rpm records was released with a total of eight songs. It hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1946 and stayed there for seven weeks. The Billboard 78 rpm album list consisted of only one top five in 1948. Later it was released again on two EPs at 45 rpm in 1952, and later on 12-inch LP. Sinatra would re-record most of these songs later in his career. A piece of music history. Thanks to the marketing attitudes of the time, the "12-inch format" became the current LP, reserved for the more expensive classic recordings and Broadway shows; popular music appeared on 10-inch records. Industry policymakers believed that classical music aficionados would appreciate finally getting the chance to hear a Beethoven symphony or a Mozart concerto in its entirety. Previously it was an endless change of a whole series of 78 rpm records with about four minutes per side. The popular music fans thought they, already used to 1 song per side, would find the shorter duration of the 10-inch LP sufficient. This belief, as we now well know, was malicious and eventually became obsolete. By 1955 the 10 inch Lp together with 78 rpm records would lose more and more ground and production was eventually stopped. However, it has again resulted in that series of often beautiful early fifties 10 inch records, so loved by collectors of Blues, Jazz, Country and R&B.
