Topic drift alert!
The term "album" comes from the days of 78rpm. You could buy records as one-disc "singles", or as a set bound in an album.

I love FR - it's the only place where this sort of interesting trivia surfaces! My grandparents had several such "albums" of 78 rpm platters - my mom has them now (but no 78 rpm turntable, sadly).
