As the technique to produce records allowed playback times longer, such recordings appear more and more on a single plate. For such long-playing records, however, was still using the name album - though they usually had it in the vernacular of an LP (derived from LP - Long Play).

The word compilation, which today in the music industry an anthology is called, is in its ancient meaning a pleonasm . So there is a significant shift occurred, a compilation is today, after all, a 'best of' selection from other full albums.
