The gramophone was very popular in the UK from 1900 right through to the 1950s. In 1948 the vinyl LP record was introduced with a much longer playing time. These new LP records rotated at a lower speed 331/3RPM and had much lower surface noise and were more durable.

the advantages of records made from non‐breakable material, with greatly improved recording techniques, and with light‐weight pick ups and sapphire and diamond needles

Disadvantages:

Its very big

The volume is always at 1 volume you can't change the volume (Louder - Quieter)

You had to give it a lot of attention you had to wind the gramophone up it didn't just play continuously .

The first gramophones could only be operated via a hand crank. This wasn't exactly a treat for the ears, as was reflected in the low sales figures. It wasn't until the introduction of the spring motor and Caruso voice that the gramophone made its breakthrough.
