August 12th – NATIONAL VINYL RECORD DAY

Posted on by JL

12 August 2026

Today, August 12th, is NATIONAL VINYL RECORD DAY.

“When vinyl records first came on the market, they had other names. Some of them
were a gramophone record or a phonograph record. They are also called records for short. The analog sound storage medium consists of a flat disc. The sound is recorded
by inscribing it on a modulated spiral groove.

Depending on the speed at which the sound was recorded, the vinyl record will
need to be played at a corresponding speed on the record player. This is referred
to as rotational speed. The revolutions per minute (RPMs) of the more popular
vinyls are:

45s
33 1/3
78s

Other features of vinyl records included reproductive accuracy or fidelity (High Fidelity
or Hi-Fi, Orthophonic and Full-Range), their time capacity, long-playing or single, and the number of channels of audio provided (mono, stereo or quadraphonic).”
