Vinyl Discs have their predecessors or what we called ancestors. It all started from a cylindrical disc that plays sound which looks like a canned sardines, because they are sold with cardboard tubes. These records are also known as Canned Music. Its popularity began from 1888-1915. The recordings were on the outside surface of a strip of tinfoil wrapped around a rotating metal cylinder.
These cylinders are like toys which you can replace over the machine which played them. Though the cylinders easily wear and tear following a number of times being played. The owner can go to stores and replaced the worn out records or trade it with other records.
In 1890 Carnauba Wax became as a replacement for the common mixture of paraffin and beeswax used on phonograph cylinders. Over the years the type of wax used in cylinders was improved and hardened. Thus, cylinder records could be played over a hundred times.
"Edison Gold Moulded Records" had been the top of the line of hard wax covered cylinder records introduced in 1902 by Edison Records.
Later on, hard plastic cylinders appeared before the public made of celluloid that can be played a thousand times. Moreover it will not break if drop. This high end plastic disc had been purchased by Columbia Phonograph Company.
The short live Amberolas, a type of cylindrical player which was introduced by the Edison Company to play cylindrical discs made of material called amberol. It doubles the playing time of ordinary cylinders and prolongs wear and tear.
During the early period of World War 1, Cylindrical Discs and Disc Records battled for supremacy. It's obvious who won the format war.
Vinyl Discs sprang up on the early 1900s. Many people are skeptic about what can it offer to the public. Undeniably speaking these vinyl discs are cheap to mass produce compared to cylindrical records. It doesn't break easily but is sensitive to scratches. Though they are bulky but they are appreciably great for sound fidelity.
