i prefer vinyl records to any other music recording format. They have amazing sound and sometimes called a gramophone record in British English. Do you ever listen to them?
Sometimes I wonder who created the first vinyl record..
Phonograph record
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English, or simply record) is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the center of the disc. At first, the discs were commonly made from shellac; starting in the 1940s polyvinyl chloride became common. In recent decades, records have sometimes been called vinyl records, or simply vinyl or even vinyls.
