Studio Album
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), Phonograph record, vinyl (record), audio tape (like 8-track cartridge, 8-track or Cassette tape, cassette), or digital distribution, digital. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records (78s) collected in a bound book resembling a photo album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl LP record, long-playing (LP) records played at  rpm.

A more modern usage is to simply separate the subtitle by punctuation, making the subtitle more of a continuation or sub-element of the title proper. In library cataloging and in bibliography, the subtitle does not include an alternative title, which is defined as part of the title proper: e.g., '' One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw'' is filed as ''One Good Turn'' (title) and ''A Natu ...
