Up until 1957, RCA released albums simultaneously in 2 formats, 33J rpm (12 in.) LP
and 45 rpm (7 in.) EP. At the time they were uncertain that the long-play record, containing
up to 12 selections, would gain acceptance with both artists and fans. As it turned out, the LP
quickly became the preferred medium for the recording of all types of music, a status retained
for over 30 years (i.e. up until the arrival of the Compact Disc in the early 1980s). This listing
brings together those 45 rpm extended-play recordings whose tracks were drawn
from the original LPs presented earlier.
