An album is a collection of related audio tracks, released together to the public, usually commercially.

The term "record album" originated from the fact that 78 RPM Phonograph disc records were kept together in a book resembling a photo album. The first collection of records to be called an "album" was Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, release in April 1909 as a four-disc set by Odeon records. It retailed for 16 shillings — about £15 in modern currency.

In 1948, Columbia produced the first 12", 33⅓ RPM microgroove record made of vinylite. With a running time of 23 minutes per side, these new records contained as much music as the old-style album of records and, thus, took on the name "album". For many years, the standard industry format for popular music was an album of twelve songs, originally the number related to payment of composer royalties.

MGMT: Oracular Spectacular and Passion Pit: Manners are probably two of my favorite albums ever. Some of the best in my Library.
