In which format, introduced in 1948, was the album Showcase released in?
LP record The LP (from "long playing" or "long play") is an analog sound storage medium, a vinyl record format characterized by a speed of 33 ⁄ rpm, a 12 or 10 inch (30 or 25 cm) diameter, and use of the "microgroove" groove specification. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound, it has remained the standard format for vinyl albums.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow (album) Somewhere Over the Rainbow is the twenty-ninth studio album by country music singer Willie Nelson, released in 1981. It features 1940s pop standards arranged by Nelson. The album's acoustic jazz instrumentation was also meant to play tribute to one of his heroes, Belgian gipsy jazz guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt, who influenced Nelson's playing.
