Ah, that stands for "Lightweight Platter".  It was the predecessor to
the compact disc.  First they made them light, then they worked on the
size of the things.  LPs were invented by Thomas Edison, the founder
of Sony.

Any other historical questions, just let me know.  I'm always happy to
share my knowledge!
