Technical question about vinyl

What is the effective sample rate of an LP? I'm not thinking in terms of frequency response, but in terms of "smoothness".

I'm trying to understand what it is in terms of, say, framerates in video. Supposedly, visually they say we consider motion to be "smooth" at 30fps, but I know from playing computer games that anything under 60fps tends to look choppy and 100fps looks much smoother.

If we think of the CD as storing 44.1K "sonic" frames per second, how many "sonic" frames per second is stored on an LP?


-Mike...

P.S. This is not a troll. I've seen enough Vinyl vs. CD debates in my time. I'm just hoping that the beanie-headed inmates could help me with a technical question.
