Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that concept albums began with rock music in the 1960s?

No. A Wikipedia overview states concept albums became common in American country music in the early 1960s, and a peer-reviewed article notes the concept-album structure connects to centuries-old forms like epic poetry and song cycles, both undercutting the claim that concept albums began with rock music in the 1960s.
