The first Vinyl LP, which was released by Columbia Records in 1948, is accepted as being a recording of Nathan Milstein, a classical violinist, playing Felix Mendelssohn's Concerto No. 2 in E Minor, conducted by Bruno Walter with the New York Philharmonic. It was recorded three years earlier, on March 16, 1945 at Carnegie Hall in New York. The item number is ML 4001.

Why do you call vinyl records vinyl records?

Vinyl records are called such because of the material Lp's (33 1/3 RPM) and 45's RPM records are made out of. Before the creation of Lp's in 1948, most records were pressed with shellac and more properly called gramophone records.

What year did the first recorder come out?

You have to go back to the earliest recordings of musical works that would not fit on one record. For a while they were sold separately, but record stores also sold blank albums that had pockets for a dozen records or so. By 1925 the Victor Talking Machine Co. was selling large works like symphonies in specially printed albums, but the practice may be earlier than that date. When the vinyl LP was first marketed in 1948, Columbia wanted to avoid the notion that a single record wasn't worth four or five times as much as the usual records, so they referred to LPs as "albums" and the word stuck forever. You may be thinking of vinyl LPs, but actually large works like operas were marketed in albums with pockets just as the old records were.

What is the value of a vinyl 78 record by Gigli singing opera?

As far as I am aware there is only one 78 rpm side on vinyl of Gigli singing opera, issued on the Historic Masters label a year or two ago. Gigli made over 400 so-called 78s, mostly of opera between 1918 and 1954. All of these were issued on shellac. Vinyl did not come into use until after the war and very few 78s were issued. Vinyl is the material used for unbreakable long playing microgroove records (LPs) first issued in 1948. Depending on rarity and condition a 78 by Gigli might cost anything from one GBP or less to more than 100 GBP.
