  Vinyl is life,vinyl is a way of life,it is a personal choice.
  Those endless wars about which format sounds better,analog vs. digital sound format is meaningless.
  I give you an information - magnetic tapes beats the shit out of the vinyl records or digital format!

  Some facts about vinyl records:
- The gramophone (record player) can be dated back to the 19th century.It was created by a French scientist named Leon Scott, who used a vibrating diaphragm that could record sound waves on paper. Initially, he used his invention only for visual analysis – but this early record player would set the stage for what would eventually become the gramophone;
- Vinyl recordings have been around longer than you think- they have been traced back to the early 19th century in France, as well as to a man named Emile Berliner. Emile invented the flat disc record in 1888, produced from vulcanized rubber between 12.5cm-18cm thick;
- The very first 12 inch recording was Beethoven Fifth Symphony, which was performed by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra;
- When both Voyager spacecraft were launched in 1977, NASA included a record called the “Voyager Golden Record” which contains music, sound and images chosen to portray life on Earth.The record is intended to be listened to by any intelligent life form, or perhaps future humans, that might find it. The contents of the record were selected by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan and this earthling mix tape includes songs of birds and whales, spoken greetings in 55 ancient and modern languages and a musical selection that includes Beethoven, Bach, Chuck Berry and Blind Willie Johnson;
- The LP (long playing) is an analog sound storage medium, a vinyl record format characterized by a speed of 33 1⁄3 rpm, a 12 or 10 inch (30 or 25 cm) diameter;
- The average LP has about 1,500 feet (460 m or about a third of a mile) of groove on each side. The average tangential needle speed relative to the disc surface is approximately 1 mph, 1.4 km/h or 0.4 m/s;
- Most records are black, but there are some rare ones that come in a range of different colours.There is a difference in sound between the two - coloured discs will degrade faster when you play them and attain more pops;
- The groove in a vinyl record starts at the outer edge of the disc and ends towards the center of the disk. When a record is played, the sound can be different on the outer edge than the inner edge;
- Your records can build up a static charge quite easily, which means that they will attract dust and dirt. Make sure that you take good care of them and wipe them down properly to keep them clean and free from damage;
- If you want to preserve your records collection for as long as possible, the best way to do that is to store them vertically on the shelf. If you stack them up horizontally this can damage the records on the bottom of the pile and they will be impossible to salvage;
- One of the most expensive records ever sold was by the Velvet Underground and it cost $25,000.The rare disc, which is believed to be the only copy, contained early versions of the songs that would eventually appear on The Velvet Underground & Nico, which is considered to be one of the most important rock and roll records in history;
- Record sales were only around 0.3 million in 1993, but in 2012 over 4.6 million records were purchased in the USA alone! Many people thought that records would die out with the invention of digital music, but that isn’t the case.
