LP record album covers typically measure 12 inches by 12 inches. Due to the diminutive size of the format, 7-inch covers are frequent for singles. 78 rpm records were commonly offered with 10-inch sleeves, but this is no longer the case.
The capacity of a vinyl record is determined by its physical dimensions. As a result of technological advancements, 12-inch records can now retain approximately 30 minutes of audio per side, as opposed to merely six minutes in the past. Audiophiles prefer 180- to 220-gram vinyl records due to the improved sound quality that a denser record provides.
