The early years of recorded music were marked by the development of vinyl records, which quickly became a staple in the music industry. From 1900 to 1975, vinyl records evolved significantly, with advancements in technology and manufacturing processes leading to improved sound quality and durability. During this era, iconic record labels such as Columbia, Victor, and RCA Victor emerged, releasing groundbreaking albums that would shape the course of music history.
Vinyl records from the classic to modern era are prized for their unique characteristics, including warm, rich tones and a tactile experience. The early days saw the introduction of 78 RPM records, which were later replaced by 33 1/3 and 45 RPM formats. This period also witnessed the rise of popular genres like jazz, blues, country, and rock 'n' roll, with legendary artists such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles dominating the charts.
As vinyl records continued to evolve, new materials and manufacturing techniques were introduced. The 1950s saw the emergence of high-fidelity (hi-fi) records, which boasted improved sound quality and a wider range of frequencies. The 1960s and 1970s witnessed the rise of psychedelic rock, progressive rock, and folk music, with iconic bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Fleetwood Mac releasing influential albums on vinyl.
