#3 is correct. Swing started around 1930, or a little before. Be-Bop about 1942 or so.

What does 'schmuck' mean? I hear that word a lot on TV shows and movies set in New York. :)

A schmuck is kind of a jerk.

I'm going with 2 because those records would play through rather quickly and I figure you would enjoy a longer listen. Perhaps you really collected 33 1/3 records.
