These were the standard in the early days of vinyl, but were largely fazed out by the 1950s. Relatively uncommon these days is the 10-inch record, spinning at 78 RPM. This size is generally used for singles, with just one or two songs per side. The second most common record size is a 7-inch disk, which spins at 45 RPM. Your record player will have a switch that determines the proper speed at which a record will play, and while it may be funny to hear your favorite songs played in fast-motion, it can end up damaging your vinyl. An LP spins at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute, or RPM. A larger record will spin around the platter fewer times per minute than a smaller record. The ones you’re probably the most used to are 12-inch records, or long-plays (LPs for short.) Of course, different sizes also means different speeds. Vinyl records can be produced in three different sizes. Berliner’s innovations allowed records to be mass produced, bringing music on-demand inside the home for the first time. It wasn’t until several years later that Emil Berliner created what we now know as a record, a flat disk with grooves that are read by a needle and played back. Thomas Edison’s original phonograph would record sound waves onto a tinfoil cylinder and play them back through a horn. To put it briefly, the record players of the late 19 th century are almost nothing like the record players that fit comfortably in our homes today. It’s got you thinking though, what actually is the deal with different record sizes? Fortunately for you, Victrola’s got the answers. You quickly realize the problem and switch the player to 33 1/3 speed and all is well. Once you do, a sense of puzzlement arises when you hear the music being played back twice as fast with high-pitched vocals coming at you. Thanks to the recorders and original uploaders.So you’ve got your record player set up in the listening space of your choice, ready to drop the needle on your favorite album.
