You need to replace the needle on the handle try the link below or check with a local record store. As you build a collection you will understand the rpms. a 45 is smaller you need a spindle adapter so it will fit on the post.

EP is extended play.LP is long play. You're not stupid. Many people think a 45 is a handgun now days.If I can help you more,let me know. 33 1/3, 45, 78 are the speed the record rotates on the turn table. 45’s are mainly 7" in size.33 1/3 are 12". 78’s are out dated.They had them in the 1930’s an 40’s….If you don’t have a needle you will have to go to Radio Shack or a store like that and buy one.Depending on the turn table you have, one may or may not be available.

EP means extended play for 45s which usually had only one song on each side. EP's have more songs. 78's are usually 10 inches (sometimes 12) and play at faster speeds. Mostly only older turtables have this speed setting. I hope your turntable has a 45 adapter, because your only other alternative to play 45's is to use plastic adapters, which are not recommended because they often cause dents on the inside of the 45 hole, damaging them. If you are building a collection this web page has articles and videos that may help you to evaluate condition and grade records so you know what to look for.
