+Vinyl Eyezz Yep, i've got a few of those., and the sound quality isn't bad.

[@thrashwar]

..and the shaped discs also.. :)

[@aldiakaroofus]

and the cardboard discs, like the ones on Post cereal boxes in the 70's, or the Hit of the Week 78's sold at newsstands in the 1930's.

[@natalielastname1022]

Vinyl Eyezz how about the eight inch records

[@davidc720]

Another format is the 33-1/3 RPM, 16 inch transcription record. These were used for distributing weekly radio shows to radio stations. The only time I saw one of these records was at a movie theater I worked at in the 1970s.

[@AwesomeRobot15]

For 78's, change your name to Shellac Eyezz

Yes!

[@rayfridley6649]

There are also 12 inch 78 rpm records.

[@Novaking1975]

[@alexmckenna1171]

There were the popular 10" brown cardboard Hit-of-the-Week - also known as Durium records - in the early 30s, and other flexible 10" 78 rpm records too in white celluloid, clear and coloured PVC , and in Europe we had 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 inch shellac records playing at 78rpm.. from the 20s to mid thirties.

[@superfugd64]

OMG!!! Dude every since i saw your Video "why buy Vinyl" I've been hooked!! i have bought my very first Record player, its a Audio Technica ATLP60, i will be upgrading as time passes. I am also using the tips you give on how to buy Vinyl record and how to treat them well, Much love man.

[@vinyleyezz]

+Moises Alonso Awesome! Glad I could help you out with your new vinyl hobby! And I'm so glad you like the videos too! More great stuff on the way!

[@An_average_drummer]

I have about 5 Edison 80 rpm records!!! I didn't know they were so rare.

[@vinyleyezz]

+Prowler That's awesome! Do you have the Edison diamond disc phonograph to play them? :)

[@An_average_drummer]

nope i found them with various 78 records and a victrola

[@RecordCollector96]

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.

[@MsMadLemon]

Oooo I want a liquid filled record!…I had no idea they had more speeds than the 331/3, 45 and 78rpm, nor did I know 78s require a special stylus. I learned a lot here! I doubt that chocolate record would last long with me though ;o)

[@vinyleyezz]

+MsMad Lemon haha I've been looking for a while to buy that chocolate record online! I'm glad you liked the video! :)

[@madbear3512]

Actually between the years 1900 and 1935 there was between 60 and 130 rpm.

[@beauwilliamson3628]

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.

[@williamTA5]

Not sure why but those colourful records are extremely popular for Australian rock bands

[@PixliePlay]

Will Abbey acdc?

[@michaelmartin9022]

The only coloured vinyl I have so far is a generic looking J-pop one from the 80's. I wasn't even sure if I'd listened to it before or not, until I got it out and saw it was white.

[@damienwaychester1527]

They are also popular with Earache Records

[@sharkybuddy5192]

Nirvana unplugged...

[@JBearInIndiana]

As a child we had 45 records that had a mirror attachment at went on the spindle so that as the record spun it would pick up a picture where the title of the record would go - and this would give an animated image to watch.

[@mikeangelo6667]

Yes, they were produced by Red Raven Records.

[@gleuszler]

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.

[@grugg3108]

I have the Joyce Manor S/T on vinyl which is a 12in that plays @ 45rpm. I also have the Razzmatazz B-Sides by iDKHow which is a 10in @45rpm

[@Oystein87]

Quite alot of 12" singles are 45rpm actually. And a 7" single can also have small holes like a normal 12" record..

[@SK-xc6cd]

Also 10 inch EPs which usually spin at 33 but can also be 45’s. 👍🏽

[@codykamminga9667]

there is a 3 rpm record too, Third Man Records, Jack White

[@Jack-eu5vu]

Third man records once put out a 3 rpm record

[@jeeprod1]

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.

[@retroandrailways6373]

Those 20 inch wide records used to be played on speeds up to 120rpm as well

[@kennethschultz4910]

My cousin had a 1903 RCA stereo that his daughter inherited after his passing plus he left her a bunch of records from that era and they still sound fantastic.

[@ianmcphail1430]

Here`s s`more...In early shellac days, some were only single sided with a relief company moulding on the other side. Also some were as small as 5 inches, and as large as 12. Finally, early vinyl microgrooves were only 10 inches. I used to have examples of all of these. Keep up the vinyl vibes!

[@vinyleyezz]

+Charlotte Pollock no problem! Thank you for watching! :D

[@Chaoitcme]

That Marika Hackman record in the back is amazing.

[@xanataph]

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!

[@Limon_Kara]

Your videos are so helpfull, brief and cool! Thank you so much.

[@musxn]

Most 16 rpm records actually use a normal stylus. Only highway hifi records use the ultra microgroove

[@inamurato]

10" and 12" maxi singles are not mentioned.

[@radhwangothic]

You should make a new video about the types of records based on their materials, like Vinyl, PVC, Shellac, Acetate and others....

[@willow8415]

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

[@gusneaker]

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...

[@shredgardo]

I have a 12” LP that plays at 45 RPMs (Joyce Manor - “Never Hungover Again”)

[@DownUnderVinyl]

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.

[@Andersljungberg]

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

[@McMieke]

Another great installment, thank you. There is of course Shaped Picture discs which are a bit of a novelty. Watching your video reminded of a disc I have. Whilst it's not my type of music I thought it was unusual as it says on the label "Speed 80." It's on the Columbia label and by The Condoliers with Take A Pair Of Sparkling Eyes on one side and No Possible Doubt Whatsoever on the other. Mabye this is one of the ultra rare discs you talked about. John

[@Benjamin-om3ih]

Shout out for having Marika Hackman. Utter masterpiece that album

[@pietroromeo2004]

Those specialty records are sick!

[@stephenjerome4135]

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?

[@banjonator1]

I have a green marbled single by John Linnell in the shape of the 48 contiguous U.S. states. I'm loving your videos, btw! I wish I would've found them sooner, they would've saved me from some rookie mistakes x_x

[@Picklebracket]

Fab video. Just to add here. There are 16 rpm records at 12 inch with music on. I have some PYE, Fontana and CBS compilation 'sampler' LPS made in South Africa. The Prestige jazz label made some 12 inch 16's. A set of six. Don't forget a popular 45 rpm format the 12 inch mega mix Finally if you can find them! The US army made 33 rpm records that were 16 inch diameter to be played on the radio. Just played with out DJ. This also includes many smaller speech records that played at 8 rpm.

[@Multi1628]

~ 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 ~

[@Timemaster-88]

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

[@bobskie321]

You forgot to mention a "Constant Linear Velocity" records an attempt to increase the recording time in early 1920s. The speed was measured in inches per second rather than revolution per minute. Their reason was if the sound quality is acceptable close to the record label they can keep that linear speed all the time. Some said it was cut from the inside out and at the beginning close to the record label they spin at 78 RPM and gradually slows down as it spirals outwards like a CD. I stumbled into it and googled for more and the results are conflicting whether it was cut from the inside out or outside in. One of those sources is Wikipedia under Gramophone record.

[@mariawesley7583]

I remember back in the 70's having a record that I cut out of a cereal box. It might have been Halloween sound affects.

[@ben.9663]

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.

[@vinyleyezz]

Cool! Sounds like an awesome 78!

[@sneskid78]

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.

[@KingQuanProductions]

I actually got the Dawn of The Planet Of The Apes Music Score 2 LP, both on grey marble vinyl. So gorgeous!

[@robbiecrosbie4506]

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 😀

[@vinyleyezz]

[@ArtifactAttic]

Edison discs were called "hill and dale" or vertical groove records. The analog sound is modulated vertically in an Edison disc. Pathé Records in France also made vertical-groove records but had to be played with a 9-mil stylus.

[@pghcoyote]

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.

[@RecordCollector96]

Correct!

[@xaenon]

Great work. Just starting my own collection and I can't wait. Really pumped thanks for the awesome work.

[@queenconvertible]

Two things. 1st off, not only were there standard 45's, with one track per side. But there were also what was called EP 45's, AKA: Extended Play. RCA started doing that in the early 50's, they would pack two tracks per side on a 7inch 45. I also thought I would menton Philco Fords Hip Pocket records from the mid 60's. they were little 5 or 6 inch disks, and they featured all the hottest pop stars of the day, mainly marketed for teens. Each disk had a picture cover. Philco Ford produced a special transistor, battery player that ONLY played the hip pocket disks, and 45's.

The 78 RPM shellac discs also exist in 12-inch size as well!

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 KZbin 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.

[@grzegorzfurlaga2141]

There was a video of a burrito flag with etched music grooves. That’s some specialty.

[@gringogreen4719]

This is a good start for a beginner. That said take a look at the record regardless of the size. I've been listening to my 7 inch records I've been collecting. I had two that were 33 & 1/3 even though they are only 7 inches. I have a U2 7 inch from the Rattle & Hum period where one side is a 33 & 1/3 and the other side was a 45 rpm. I have 10 inch records that have the same disposition shall we say. I also have 12 inch 45 RPM records too. The speciality discs are cool and I have a promo that is Marianne Faithfull that is a brief recording on the front of a post card! While I enjoy spinning records I feel that the prices of new records have gone way out of control. So I can pick up a new CD release and it will be roughly between $8 and $11 on sale. I don't really get why the record is north of $20. This is not new technology and I get there is a demand but brand new albums can be had for $15 in original shrink wrap. For example I love Brian Fallon but the new vinyl was 2.5 times the cost of the CD! You get a download code but that's not really putting the record company out anything. There is no physical product to push or cost the artist. If you like an artist make sure to support them. Buy their albums, go to their shows, tell them that they matter. If you take care of your records they can easily last a lifetime or longer.

[@whitefeatherful]

The flex disk from RCA was by far the best disk made. Very thin, they had a advertisement of a hand holding on folded up. The vinyl was mix so well it was totally smooth and quit. It is now used by mofi just not quite a thin.

[@cristigorillaz]

[@thehumanpractice2985]

Good video, perfect for a paper im writing. Where´s your source on the groove names? Thanks in advance.

[@HMV101]

Between circa 1915 and 1925 most 80-rpm was considered the normal speed for records. It was only after the advent if electrical recording (around 1925), that 78rpm became standard. Prior to WWI, recording speed was fairly arbitrary; anything from 65 to 95rpm (20-inch diameter Pathé discs played at 120rpm). Edison's' 'Diamond Discs' however were always spun at exactly 80; possibly arrived at by halving the speed of commercially issued cylinder records (160rpm). Of course Columbia's 33⅓ rpm microgroove LPs first appeared in 1948 (RCA issued coarse groove 33⅓ LPs back in 1931), followed by RCA's 45s.

[@deanethomas6075]

Interesting video. I would like to point out that records that are 16 and 78 speeds can be played on a regular record player without damaging the needle, hence the reason many record players of the past, and some of the new ones have those speeds included. Also, they were many 16 speed records that were 12 inch records, such as story records, instructional records, and sermons. Reader's Digest made 12 in 16 speed records for the blind and Jimmy Swaggart made a lot of his sermons on 12 inch records of that speed. Also, many forty-fives there were 7 in could include more than one song in each side depending on the groove width. And there were some Maxi singles there are still 45 but had longer songs as there were twelve inch singles as well they were 33. Just wanted to get that in. Good vids. Cheers.

[@speake7777777]

you forgot that various labels released 78 rpm records with microgrove like the "Audiophile Records" label, also some were 5 inches in diameter, or the speak-o-phone and other makers of aluminium records that needed cactus needles, or the reverse spin 16 inch 33rpm transcription disks. Not even the quadrophonic records, those were cool, I have one awaiting a table.

[@tonyso01]

Hello Jarret. I have seen some 16 rpm records made in the 50's in South Africa and other countries. Some singers had 16 rpm versions of their music in those countries at the end of the 50's. There are videos of these songs on youtube. The sound is not bad. Why they dissapeared is still a mystery

[@nexttrackmusic2748]

You forgot another type of "Picture Disks," Vogue Picture Records. These records were sold mostly in jewelry stores, and they displayed two different pictures (one on each side.) they are collectable but didnt last long

3:07 78 rpm records disappeared in India in 1960, most soviet x-rays were also 78s.

[@oscmungus3598]

My favourite is the Soviet Army Chorus & Band V. 4; Conducted by Coronel Boris Alexandrov.

[@tommasoguandalini2256]

45 rpms can also be on 12 inch discs

[@Livin4anaudition]

One you didn't mention is the "Little Wonder" records, 1914 - 1923. 5 1/2" made by Columbia Graphaphone Co. One-sided and thick like a mini-78rpm. Also, in the 78rpm category, was the Vogue picture records by Sav-Way Industries in Detroit. 1946 - 1947, 10" . 67 known releases.

[@markostermayer3614]

What about puzzle records? Also early single sided records?

[@mikefellhauer3350]

16rpm WAS used for music, in the Seabreeze Background Music System. Someone already mentioned the 8RPM talking books, but I will mention the 100RPM Pathe disc which starts at the centre of the record and uses a ball stylus...there are great videos about all of these on KZbin.

[@johnb6723]

Don't you mean Seeburg?

[@Pisti846]

I have seen 45rpm albums (2 double-sided discs) and new 78rpm microgroove, which have incredible sound quality.

[@ianhelps3749]

When I was a kid I had a few records of nursery rhymes. They were 6 inch, bright red and played at 78rpm.

[@CJvdB16]

I have a question: with thicker records, like the 180 gram records, do you need to change something about your tone arm like the height? Btw I'm getting my AT lp 120 tomorrow, thanks for helping me making my decision!!

[@vinyleyezz]

No, I've found that having my tonearm at the lowest height ( 0 on the LP-120) works great on all sizes of records! Have fun with your new Turntable!

[@CJvdB16]

+Vinyl Eyezz Great, so no worries there then :) Thanks!

[@Wabaanimkii]

I have a few records which have a 45 rpm side, and a 33 rpm side. How common is this? or is it just this particular genre I've got? P.S almost all of them are 7'' single records.

[@slashtiger1]

This will almost certainly be because of the content that's on them. As you might know, a 33/3 rpm record can hold ~20 minutes on each side, when talking about the 12" variety. a 7" 45 rpm record holds up to 5, 6 minutes at the most, per side. If a song lasted longer than this, two things could be done to overcome the time constraints. One: press a 10", or even a 12" 45 rpm disk, which would ramp up the quantity of information that could be pressed onto one side, whilst preserving the (mostly higher) sound quality of 45 rpm records. Another method, that was slightly less common, was to keep using the 7" 'form factor', but to bring the speed down to 33rpm, which would give you about 8, 9 minutes of audio per side. I myself haven't seen many 33rpm 7" records, let alone any mix-types where one side would be 45 rpm and the other would be 33 rpm. If it would be up to me, that would make these fit into the 10th category of this video...

[@ahmetcangokceer]

2:10 I may be reading too much into it but, I really like how you followed "2015"with "(present)" implying they might be gone some day and this video will be on interwebs forever. Very forward thinking and open minded about technologies imo : ) -- especially considering you are a fan of vinyl, yet you accept they might be outdated at some point --

[@sopaman1234]

Even though this video is at least 5 years old .the demand for vynul records is at all time high.. 2020

[@BobbyGass5]

45s in the 1930s? The first 45 for sale that I know of was in March of 1949 by RCA. It was a box set of six records. The first 45 record was by Eddy Arnold "Bouquet of Roses". You must be referring to 78s.

[@12799MaDeuce]

I've got a decent collection of shellac 78s (probably at least 75 of them) that were a gift from a neighbor along with a 1925 Victrola, also a gift. Unfortunately the governor on the Vic broke, so it's temporarily out of service.

[@vinyleyezz]

Oh wow that's awesome! I only have 3 78's at the moment because I don't have a stylus to play them, but maybe in the future I'll get one. Is your Victrola the wind up type? Those gramophones are the coolest.

[@12799MaDeuce]

+Vinyl Eyezz Yep it's the wind-up type. Here's a clip I shot of it: /watch?v=k5TAovvNH_Y I took that video to have a "before" reference for when I have the motor tuned up and the reproducer rebuilt. That constant click you hear in the video is the loose governor spring (didn't know that at the time). Fear not, it's no longer in the garage. I has some wear on the wood, but I see it as character. I'm eventually going to get the mechanics redone, and give the wood/metal a wipe-down, but not a full restoration.

[@mikeangelo6667]

I have 123 78's in my collection.

[@jeremycampos4738]

Hey Jarrod, love your videos I'm just getting into vinyl based on the setup in my room I can't get external speakers and a receiver. I was wondering what Built In Speaker Turntable you would recommend thanks

[@vinyleyezz]

+Jeremy Campos well on average, I usually don't recommend turntables with built in speakers because of the poor sound quality. BUT if you simply don't have any room for speakers, then I recommend going with the Jensen JTA-230. It's got much better reviews than those terrible Crosley Cruisers lol. Good luck and thanks for watching man!
