     $a	s	sound recording
     $b	d	sound disc
     $d	b	33 1/3 RPM
     $e	u
     $f	m
     $g	e	12 in.
     $h	n
     $i	n
     $j	m
     $k	p
     $l	l
     $n	e

     (Note: You only need to worry about subfields a,b,d, and g; those affect limiting in ALEPH.)

   • 028 Verify
   • 100 Just verify that it's somewhere on the item.
   • 300 Must include $a 1 audio disc : $b 33 1/3 rpm ; $c 12 in. ($a can be "sound disc" instead of "audio disc" ; $b might also include analog, mono, or stereo)
   • 260 $a was not required when most of these were cataloged, so that doesn't affect the match.
   • 505 Not necessary, but if you're deciding between two good records, pick the one with this field.
4. If the LP is going into Special Collections, you must check the call number field(s) 
   1. 050, 090 – Library of Congress type call number
      1. There must be an 050 or 090 field, you can use either.
      2. There can be both an 050 and 090 field, but they must be the same.
      3. There cannot be an 055, 092 or 096.
      4. A number without a year is okay.  If there is a year, it must match the year in the 008.
   2. If the 050 or 090 you use has the following problems, kick it out.
      1. Call number is incomplete (e.g. only $a)
      2. There are two $a in 050
      3. Series call number (includes vol. or no. info) 
      4. Call number is Z5000 or higher
      5. Call number is PZ1-PZ4
   3. If you find a usable call number in the bib record, proceed to next step
