Ah, but how about the 45RPM (vinyl) and 78RPM (shellac) formats?
 
At one point or another, I would bet that this could have hit all of the formats either directly or as some transfer somewhere, at least as a demo.

Some 1950's pop and jazz titles (and even classical and broadway casts) did come on 45 RPM Extended Play, 78 RPM albums, and mono LP. Examples. South Pacific original cast on Columbia, which came in all 3 formats mentioned. Frank Sinatra's "In The Wee Small Hours" came in 45 RPM EP sets, 10" LP (2) and 12" LP. Just to name some examples. In the 1949-1954 era, Columbia, MGM, and Capitol offered their albums in 78 RPM, 45 RPM EP or normal singles, and 10" LP and later versions in 12" LP with added tracks or combos of 2 10" LP discs on a 12" LP.
 
I mentioned Genesis earlier in this thread. Here are the formats their various studio albums have been released in, according to Discogs:

From Genesis To Revelation: LP, Cassette, CD, Digital
Trespass: LP, Cassette, CD, CD-ROM, SACD, Digital
Nursery Cryme: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
Foxtrot: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
Selling England By The Pound: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, Reel-to-Reel, CD, SACD, Blu-Ray, Digital
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
A Trick Of The Tail: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, DIgital
Wind And Wuthering: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
...And Then There Were Three...: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
Duke: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
Abacab: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
Genesis: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, Reel-to-Reel, CD, SACD, Digital
Invisible Touch: LP, Cassette, 8-Track, CD, SACD, Digital
We Can't Dance: LP, Cassette, DCC, CD, SACD, Digital
...Calling All Stations...: LP, Cassette, CD, MiniDisc, SACD, Digital

So everything but DAT and LD, though video releases like Live: The Mama Tour and Visible Touch were indeed released in LaserDisc format in addition to VHS and CD-V. Discogs is far from an authoritative source, but seems fairly accurate most of the time.
