Napkin math, could be wrong:

At 18kHz per channel and 70dB S/N the Shannon-Hartley theorem suggests the maximum channel capacity of a vinyl record is around 50k bits per second. Note that SH is an ideal metric

So if your LP has 23 minutes of playtime you've got around 69Mbit of storage.

Is that 23 minutes per side?
