The traditional vinyl record - a journey through time
At the end of the 16th century, the Italian scientist Giovanni Battista della Porta was already thinking about recording and reproducing the human word. The breakthrough in technology came on July 18, 1877, when the American electrical engineer Thomas Alva Edison succeeded for the first time in recording and reproducing the human voice.
At the same time, the German inventor Emil Berliner, who had emigrated to the USA, researched sound recording on a record and was successful. On November 6, 1898, he and his brother Joseph founded Deutsche Grammophon GmbH in Hanover, where the first records were mass-produced.
In 1902, the famous Italian opera tenor Enrico Caruso heralded the worldwide triumph of the record. He made records socially acceptable and the demand for these sound carriers rose abruptly. The round sound carrier became a hit on every continent. The gramophone as a playback device came onto the market in May 1888.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was first used as a base material on June 21, 1948, when the Hungarian-American physicist Dr. Peter Goldmark discovered that PVC significantly improved sound quality as a record material. PVC thus replaced shellac as the base material, especially as it is more flexible to use and less sensitive as a material.
Records - A product with many variations
Not all records are the same – they come in all shapes and sizes. To show you how versatile a vinyl record can be, we have shown you the different shapes in more detail:
- Normal records – Vinyl records are coming back into fashion. No wonder, because they offer a pure sound experience. Whether jazz, classical or rock/pop cult music – the record that has almost disappeared since the 1970s is back. And it is no longer a collector’s item, but is almost more popular than CDs.
- Single records – Singles are a specialty. They are also vinyl records, but unlike their big brother, a single only contains one favorite song. There are three different formats:
- the classic 7-inch and
- the 10-inch and
- the maxi single with an extended playing time.
But why is the vinyl record so popular again? Lovers enjoy the feeling of holding such a physical format in their hands. Fans know that haptic media – like the old vinyl record – will never die out, because they still fascinate people today.
Escape the digitally dominated world with vinyl records
Anyone hoping for perfect sound from a vinyl record is usually disappointed. It’s the noise that makes the analog vinyl record so special. It is precisely their imperfections, such as the subliminal crackling, the typical pops and the hissing of scratches and dust, that make old vinyl records an unmistakable listening experience that is unique to each record.
But there is more to the resurgence in popularity of vinyl records. It is the unique ritual of playback that is completely left out when digital music is called up. The vinyl record must first be selected and then placed on the turntable. The playback needle must now be carefully placed on the spinning disk. Now begins the phase of attentive listening – and enjoyment.
