45 RPM RECORDS

In March 1949, RCA Victor released 7- inch 45 revolutions per minute (RPM) records as smaller, higher-fidelity replacements for the 78 rpm shellac discs.

The first 45 rpms were monaural and recorded on both sides. Almost all 45 rpms were produced in stereo by the early 1970s.

The post 45 RPM RECORDS appeared first on Enemy in the Mirror.
