I think we used a different term for it, so maybe that's a regional abbreviation. But I'm thinking they were talking about the recording quality/speed. I remember there being two options, one gave you twice as many hours but the quality was lower.

From memory, SP was standard play, LP was long play, and SLP was super long play.

You could get 6 hours on a tape with SLP, but only 2 hours on SP.
