Yes, the 10" microgroove is also a LP. In Europe, they were sometimes 
called 'Medium-Play' (Decca, Telefunken).

Harold A. Harley from Britain started "High Fidelity" en 1926, and the 
term became popular in 1934.

The first commercial stereo recordings were released by Atlantic in 
March 1953: left and right channels recorded on two separate grooves.

The first commercial stereo recordings in their current format (only 
one groove) were released by Audio Fidelity in November 1957.
