When did the first vinyl records appear?

For the first time, musical works were recorded on so-called shellac records, but the sound was not of high quality, and they also broke if handled carelessly, which was one of their main drawbacks. The first vinyl records appeared much later than their shellac predecessors. They were made using a special vinyl mass, but they were intended for professional use on radio stations in cinemas.

Due to the high cost of the material used in the manufacture of records, mass production was launched later. But thanks to the appearance of the Long Play format, or LP for short, presented by the famous music studio Columbia Records, vinyl became known to everyone in 1948.

These were vinil lp records, familiar to modern music lovers, at 33 1/3 rpm. They had a standard round shape, a size of twelve inches, narrow sound tracks, recording on which could be made up to forty minutes.

A year later, RCA Victor introduced a seven-inch format with 45 rpm. With the increasing popularity of vinyl music records, all companies began to produce a single standard not only for records, but also for the equalizer curve used when printing vinyl records. The use of this technology has made it possible to get rid of the need to use special phono equalizers equipped with switchable curves for listening to old records.

What records are found today

Modern manufacturers offer vinyl discs in three sizes:

• 7 inches.
• 10 inches.
• 12 inches.

Records of these sizes are produced for different rotation speeds when playing melodies. Twelve-inch vinyl discs are most often played at 33 1/3 rpm, seven-inch ones are used to release music tracks at 45 rpm. Maxi-singles are printed on twelve-inch records (they are the ones that, due to the maximum width of the sound track, which allows you to accommodate a larger amount of low-frequency information, allow you to reproduce excellent quality sound).

One of the advantages of working with our company is the most favorable price for vinyl records with high recording quality. The sale is carried out on favorable terms, so customers in Kyiv, Odessa, and Kharkiv have the opportunity to order a vinyl disc with their favorite tracks online without leaving home.
