Talk:Vinyl record

IMO this article is something of a mess. The worst problem is that it deals with non vinyl recordings. Vinyl records were first produced experimentally int he 1930s and then first mass marketed in the 1940s. The talk about earlier cylinders and shellac records is rather like saying something like "earlier plastic toys were made out of metal and wood"-- before things were made out of plastic or vinyl, they can't properly be refered to as being plastic or vinyl. This needs to be reworked. Either this should be broken up into seperate articles about different types of records, or changed to an article about disc records in general. -- Infrogmation
Removed a bit of needless attribution -- the difference in sound quality clearly varies among CD players, dependding on the quality of the DAC, speakers, cables etc. -- Tarquin 18:06 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)
I reworked most of the article into terms I think are much more coherent and moved it to Gramophone record. -- Infrogmation 08:33 Jan 21, 2003 (UTC)
Shouldn't this page just be made a redirect
Shouldn't this page just be made a redirect to Gramophone record? (172.192.243.63)
- I agree. It should forward to gramophone record...the only difference is a gramophone record might not be made out of vinyl. :p I see no reason to provide them with a lesser page if a better one exists. They'll think this is it. - Brandon.irwin 00:32, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I am bringing this suggestion up at Talk:Gramophone record; let's discuss it there. -- Infrogmation 20:33, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Needs to mention 16" Transcription Records
Yes, 16" in diameter, either 33 1/3 or 16 2/3 RPM, were commonly used by radio stations but rarely seen now outside of ebay.
