• LP Vinyl records, as we know them today, were developed by Peter Carl Goldmark, an engineer at Columbia Records. Goldmark and his team introduced the long-playing (LP) record format in 1948, revolutionizing the way music was recorded, distributed, and enjoyed.
• Goldmark's LP format featured vinyl discs that spun at a speed of 33 1/3 revolutions per minute (RPM), allowing for longer playing times compared to the standard 78 RPM shellac records of the time. This innovation increased the playing time from a few minutes per side to around 20 minutes per side, enabling entire classical music compositions, symphonies, and longer albums to be recorded and enjoyed without interruption.
• The LP format quickly gained popularity among music enthusiasts, artists, and record labels for its superior sound quality, durability, and convenience. It became the dominant format for distributing albums, shaping the way people listened to and appreciated music for decades to come.

While Goldmark is credited with inventing the LP vinyl record format, it's important to note that the development of Vinyl records was the result of collaborative efforts involving engineers, researchers, and technicians at Columbia Records and other companies in the audio industry during the mid-20th century.
