Vinyl Eyezz how about the eight inch records

2:40 - Many 45-RPM records (and likely the one you're showing us) are made of styrene instead of PVC (vinyl). Styrene records were manufactured by many record companies like Columbia, RCA, PolyGram, and Arista. They were made by injection molding (the same process used to make the plastic parts for most of our modern gadgets) instead of by pressing a puck of PVC between two heated "stampers" (nickel negatives of the final record). Styrene records can only be played safely by conical (spherical) or elliptical (bonded or nude) styli. Playing a styrene record with a more complex stylus (Shibata, Micro-Line, Fine-Line, Micro-Ridge, etc.) will result in the stylus shaving out filaments from the record grooves, which appear as a white dust on the top of the record, thus destroying the record. Not all 45-RPM records are styrene. To identify a styrene record, look at the edge. If the edge is square, the record is styrene; if the edge is sharp, the record is vinyl. Vinyl 45-RPM records can safely be played with any type of stylus. Additionally, a few 12-inch singles are 45-RPM; however, they have small center holes instead of big ones.

Edison Diamond Discs can be played on a modern turntable. Just need to swap the cartridge wires on the right (red and green) channel and mix down to a mono signal. They play best, IMO, with an LP (0.7mil) elliptical stylus. Pathé vertical groove records sound best with a 3mil 78rpm elliptical stylus.

Actually - you shouldn't use 78rpm stylus at all. The 33 1/3 stylus works fine and does less damage. It's the other way around - you can't use a 78 stylus on 33 1/3 records. It's so wide that it will just glide along the top of the groove and you won't hear anything. 78 needles are just steel. They get dull fast. You would buy them in tins of 100 and replace them (in theory) after every few records. Not many people bothered, which is one (of many) reason 78s are usually so worn out.

I love how many times the Lazaretto Ultra LP showed up in his specialty slideshow.

4:15 - RCA CED (Capacitance Electronic Disc) videodiscs had similar grooves to the Edison records, undulating up and down rather than side-to-side. The grooves were ultra-narrow, about 1/50th the width of a single audio record groove, and had no space between them. They were played by a keel-shaped diamond stylus with a titanium electrode embedded within. The titanium electrode acted as one plate of a capacitor (hence the term "Capacitance Electronic Disc") and the disc itself served as the second plate. The discs were spun at 450 RPM. As the depth of the groove fluctuated, so did the capacitance, since capacitance changes with the distance between the plates. The electronics in the player decoded the fluctuations in capacitance into video and sound, which it then fed to a TV. The RCA CED system was launched in 1981 and marketed as a cheaper alternative to a VCR, which cost about $700-1000 in 1981 dollars ($1800-2500 today). However, since it came out after the LaserDisc, a far superior format, and since each side of a CED disc could only hold 1 hour of video and sound, it was, at best, only moderately successful. Additionally, a few years later, VCR prices plummeted, thus making the CED format much less desirable. RCA ceased production of CED players in 1984 and abandoned the format entirely in 1986.

Great video would like to add that radio stations back in the day used giant 16 inch records !! I have a few of them my wall they too played at 33 1/3 and could be found with starting grooves either inside out or outside in

I have some thin cardboard records that came with some ALF puppets back in the 80s. They were from Burger King I believe. Most of these records are curled due to age and being stored in a box.

During the late teens, Pathe records in Europe had a Center-start 78 rpm record that was 20 inches wide. The Center start feature has been repeated now that sound engineers have proven it is superior for pieces of music that start low and finish very loud, since the tracking and grooves are better at the start of a record. I have a new copy of Ravels "Bolero" on a center start record, as it is a famous piece that starts with only 2 instruments and finishes beyond huge.I enjoy watching your videos, introducing a new generation to the past in record technology.

I have one of these 45rpm 12'' records too, mine is actually an EP (Melanie Martinez's After School btw). The funny part of the story is that the RPM information wasn't on the cover, the sleeve or anywhere else. I played the vinyl and I thought like "well, this artist uses a pitch down voice and tempo sometimes, but it's never for so long". Only realized that in the middle of the song.

I have an Edison disc that I got from my uncle. It is dated at 1929, around the time that some of them actually started using the standard groove design. And as such, it is playable on a normal player, albeit at 78 rpm. Truly a miraculous sight.

My grandma has a recording of her and her sisters singing for their dad on vinyl.

Great Video Vinyl Eyezz! I looked up the Ice Vinyl video and it was one of the coolest things/ideas I'd ever seen!

This is a nice introduction! If I may tweak it just a touch: 78 rpm records also came in 12" and 7" sizes. Earlier, acoustic records on various labels were said to be 80 rpm on their sleeves because it was easiest to calibrate on a gramophone, which had a lever to adjust the speed. The reality is that many if not most of that era play at 78 as well as slower or faster; the recording equipment was run by pulleys. The same goes for Edison DDs which, by the way, are not rare as records go; like any other, it depends on the title (very late ones, especially electrically recorded ones, are scarce, simply because they were the end of the line.) The speed issue also affects Pathe Sapphire records which, like Edison DDs, had a vertically cut groove (until your video I've always seen it called "Hill and Dale" or, well, vertical cut.) Pathe records were made to be played only with a sapphire ball. A steel needle would trash it. LPs were also 10" in the beginning, and it was quite common in those early days. The size was more novelty in the 70s and 80s (A&M issued The Police's Regatta Du Blanc that way, and Warner Bros. issued a Rikkie Lee Jones album that way) and there also were 7" 33rpm records, though not a format that took off beyond early juke box records and educational records. (Scholastic Books issued many.) 16 r.p.m records can be found in those three sizes as well.

HI Jarrett, very cool video! I remember some special records that seemed to have enjoyed some popularity in the 60s. My mum used to show me several postcards that were larger than the ordinary ones, and they had a hole in the center. I could also see the grooves present in a traditional record. The back of this record-postcard was similar to that of any postcard: you could write a message, and the address to send the card. It was sent to mum by a European friend, and I guess they weren't written on the back, meaning they were sent inside an envelope. As my mum told me, they were very fragile, and she would never allowed me to touch and/or listen to them. A couple of weeks ago, I asked her about these cards and, unfortunately, she has no idea of what has become of them... Well... just wanted to share these memories with you all...

Saw a diamond disc today at an antique shop. It was in a pretty rough shape, chips on the edges, and scratches in the grooves. Let it slide because the price given was outrageously high given the condition

This is a very interesting video. I would like to add that there's actually 6 speeds for record playing. 16 2/3rpm isn't the slowest speed. There's even a slower speed which is 8 rpm which was used for talking books when they were produced for the blind and visually impaired readers back in the 70s and early 80s. The records were on flexible disc or standard hard discs like the 33 1/3 but were about maybe 10" in diameter. There was one time I had records that were children's bible stories on both the flexible and hard disc, except the size was probably around an 8" or 8 1/2" diameter and made it harder to play on a standard record player. The only record player(s). that I know of that played them with no problem were the astrosonic turntables found in magnavox console stereo systems, which my mother still has. You might want to include this if you decide to do an update on this video. Superior job on the presentation. Gary

~ 3 Years Later and still interesting! Did not see that you covered the 7" singles in the USA released with small holes and playable at 33 1/3 r.p.m. in the short-lived Atlantic Records DSKO Disco Promo series. Might that be considered a special, separate category: it does seem to be a combination of norms, plus they were all released with full paper jackets, not Atlantic hole-cut sleeves. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

Great video and quite comprehensive too. As far as record speed goes I think the following deserves a mention too: 8 and 2/3 rpm voice records for the visually impaired. There are quite a few KZread videos of them going around. Interestingly enough they are mostly issued in flexidisk format (I see you did a follow-up video on that too, thanks !) but the 12-inch variety interests me quite a lot in the sense that they could easily go up to at least 90 minutes per side (4 x 22.5 minutes for your average 33 and 1/3 record). Great for listening to a book, for instance ! On a sidenote, I've done some research into this topic and there were even experiments with 4 rpm records but I guess the quality must have been atrocious.

No mention of EP records, Extended Play 45 RPM records. In India, HMV came out with LP 45 records. LP sized records which played at 45 RPM speed. It was marketed for a short period around 1974 /1975. It had 2 or 3 songs on each side.

At an audio museum I am on the board of we have got quite a few 18" 78 RPM discs. Many of them play from the centre out. This was done deliberately because in those days they were still read by a steel needle (even if it was held in an electromagnetic pickup). The idea was the needle would encounter the slower less trebley tracks whilst it was still fresh and when it was getting worn it would be in the region of the faster outer tracks, which of course always have more high end. The idea here being to kind of even up the frequency response over the disc. Naturally this would be irrelevant when using a diamond stylus. It's common to think that things advanced from steel to diamond. But actually, the original phonographs used sapphire needles & as pointed out, the Edison "hill & dale" player used a diamond needle. They actually went to disposable steel needles to meet the demand for higher volume from these acoustically amplified machines. You can apply a lot more pressure to a record with a hardy piece of steel. Which means greater volume. There was even a deliberate abrasive compound put in the shellac mixture to quickly grind a new needle into the right shape by the record it was playing!

When I got my record player my grandma gave me loads of records including quite a lot of 78's. One of them (Whole Lotta Shakin' goin' on - Jerry Lee Lewis) has a crack in it on the a side and an actual chip on the b-side and it still plays fine. It's the superman vinyl.

There was another kind of record, and was very popular as promo or as an insert on magazines, the Flexi Disc or SoundSheet made by EvaTone, some of these sounded very good. I have a few sent as preview for production Music Libraries in the 90s and late 80s. National Geographic Magazine issued some more, I remember one from an article on the Apollo mission to the moon. There are many samples here on KZread.

Then there were also vinyl records with noise reduction systems. in the late 70's and early 80's the purpose was to provide better dynamics and reduce noise disturbances of various kinds. These vinyl records are still available for purchase today. but a decoder is required to take advantage of the noise reduction. if you do not have a turntable or amplifier with built-in function for it

10" and 12" maxi singles are not mentioned.

When I was a little child, I had a few Fisher Price records that were about the same diameter as the 45 RPM vinyl records, which were made out of plastic (ABS?) in different colours and could only be played on a special Fisher Price toy record player that was made for small children.

Regarding Edison Diamond Discs, the "wood flour and china clay" is just the binder INSIDE the record. The actual record coating is "condensite," a phenolic resin similar to bakelite, a type of plastic. That's like saying a bullet is made of gunpowder.

This was so interesting!

Hiya Jarrett, there is one type of record I know of that you forgot to mention is the double groove records. On these records you could listen to either one of 2 different songs or pieces of music depending on which groove you drop the stylus into. I don't have any of those myself, YET. But I know they do exist. Do you have any of these in your collection?

We had some of those Edison records at a library I used to work at. I remember looking at them and being amazed at how thick they were. The librarian did not see the value of them and took them out of circulation. Which means they ended up in the dumpster.

Back when I was a kid, they used to put songs on the back of cereal boxes. You cutr out the record and put it on you turntable and there you go. Pop songs like Bobby Sherman or the Monkees whatever was popular at the time. Ah the good old days.

78's were also made from Bakelite. I have a fair few of those. RCA Dynaflex is another type of material that was used for 33 1/3 records that you would probably put into the Thin Category.

Nice video. I didn't know 80 RPM records existed! You forgot the 8 RPM and the 16 inch transcription ones though :)

Hi mate Speaking about speeds - maybe you can made a video about explaining difference between 33 and 45 pressings? What is the difference between mastering, etc. Thanks in advance

Hey Jarrett can you make a video on how to replace the counter weight in the lp120

Pathé has the biggest record that is 20inch and also plays at the fastest speed: 120rpm

This may have been mentioned, but while the Edison Diamond Discs will be ruined on the acoustic reproducers with steel needles, it is perfectly safe to play them on a modern turntable with a stereo cartridge and course groove stylus. Since they are vertically cut, the sound from the left output of the cartridge will be out of phase with the right output. Simply just wire one side backwards, and then sum the outputs to “mono”. Alternatively, record in “stereo” and use software such as Audacity to “invert” one of the two channels. Then mix to mono.

Great respect for info! :)

fascinating stuff!!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

hi. 78's were still being produced in the 60's as the Beatles cut their first disc on a 78 in 1962 and also don't forget the 8 rpm discs that were around as well as they were produced for talking news or stories for the blind and also a lot of elevator musak used 8rpm as well as the 16rpm as well. Sorry to correct but also a huge vinyl fan 😀

In 1933, RCA pressed TWO 78 RPM picture disc - one for Jimmie Rodgers and one for Enrico Caruso. I have a Jimmie Rodgers picture disc. ALSO: A 78 RPM Jimmie Rodgers disc was issued with Three grooves on one side - Rodgers Puzzle record. I have one of these. Vogue records released Vogue Picture Records in the 1940's.

Just got that London Grammar record, I love it ✌🏼

I own a 45 rpm single that has 2 songs on either side. And there was a record that projected a star wars hologram in the center when you shone a light on it.

The 78 RPM shellac discs also exist in 12-inch size as well! Have over 200 78 RPM albums, probably over half are classical music, so albums can run anywhere from about 15 minutes (2 shellac discs) to over an hour (6, 8, even a two-volume 10-disc behemoth) which could fit onto one of those litter silver discs!! :) But still quite enjoyable and informative video!
