Encyclopedic overview
Albums c. 2000 came on compact discs stored in jewel cases (pictured is Hey Petrunko by Ooberman). Early record albums from the first half of the 20th century resembled photo albums, being packaged in book form on multiple 78 rpm records.
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), vinyl (record), or audio tape (like 8-track or cassette), or in digital format.
