Vinyl records are circular because it's an efficient use of space: the grooves that encode the music are laid out in a spiral on the disc, so that the needle only has to move as far as the disc's radius to read the entire thing.

To flip an album to side b at least two people were needed, one at each end, coordinating via shouted instructions.
