Having wondered if this was a precursor to later "EP" records (popular in discos)... I see here it in fact says "Extended Play"
Hm, now am curious. Oh Siri! (mm hm) "When was the first extended play phonograph record released"?
Oh, now isn't that interesting? I can assume my find here was from 1967 - though I can't be sure, having only the stamp #.
Maybe I actually have the first (self-designated) "extended play"?!
Hey, wait! What *was* this 'lavish' mystery record?! As in: What band? What songs?
And the answer is..... (drumroll)... Isn't modern technology wonderful?

Meanwhile....The Beatles were in the forefront of the media (r)evolution too. (Plus marketing)
It seems that it was this album which included several tracks on a fancy packaged "double EP", which included the 6-song 45RPM movie sound track. It got more confusing ... It turns out there was a big following for multi-song 45's in the 40's and 60s.
Before my time... though I did enjoy the 'British Invasion" from Animals to Who, on vinyl. So who knows, maybe I can say I have one of the first artifacts of the 60s evolution in triple-play 45RPM pop singles. 🎉

We survive how we can, some determinedly fighting, some beaten down, and with so much trauma out there, a great many people may know the feeling:
