in book form (with paper sleeves for each shellac record disk), on EP
and LP vinyl record disks, on various types of magnetic tape (4-track,
8-track, cassette, mini-cassette, DAT), etc., before they were released
on Compact Discs. In every case, the term "album" was both correct and
accepted. And now, even a collection of MP3 or FLAC files can correctly
be called an "album". The word has nothing to do with the medium of
storage.  ;-)
