According to Wikipedia's entry for June 21, LP records were introduced by Columbia Records on this date in 1948 via a public demonstration at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City.
According to Wikipedia's entry for LP records, it happened on June 18, 1948, at a press conference at the same hotel.
I won't quibble. LP's have been a major influence on my life since I bought my first one ca. 1960. The fact that it was an Engelbert Humperdinck album is something that I'm trying to downplay. My tastes improved with time.
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY LP RECORDS! You're making a comeback, and I still am having fun buying old records for next to nothing and digitaliziing them.
