As far as jazz issues were concerned 1956 seems to have seen the 
changover, when labels like Blue Note, Prestige and Savoy were reissuing 
their 10-inchers, sometimes doubling-up or augmenting them with new 
recordings.

The 1956 Downbeat record review book (another printed source) seems to 
consist almost exclusively of 12"ers.
