[Misc] '10,000 vinyls'

[southstandandy]

God - I thought I had a lot at 2500!

In my day, admittedly a long time ago, we just called them LP's

LP is an album. vinyl can be LP, EP or singles.

That’s rather decent!

LP is an album. vinyl can be LP, EP or singles.

Quite....it's why we said LP's, EP's or 45's in those days. Mind you I also had some 'vinyl 78's. Hound Dog/Teddy Bear by Elvis. Grand Coulee Dam/Sal's Got a Sugar Lip by Lonnie Donegan were two of mine that I remember.

Records.

Vinyls should be placed with medaled (as in to win a medal) in room 101

In my workplace, I get annoyed that people talk about ‘trainings’ when they mean training courses.

Or compilation by Ronco.

People referred to 'vinyls' in the 90s?!

I called them records. We had records, tapes & CD's. CD's had just been 'invented'. They hadn't just been invented but it was a big moment when the 'Now 378' album came out on CD in the very late 80's/early 90''s & I had a CD player! My brother said CD's were indestructible so I kept throwing his Fleetwood Mac CD against the wall to prove it to my friends. When they1st came out they were indestructible, I even trod on one & took a chunk out of it. That's how I know that CD's play from inside out rather than outside in, like vinyl. They don't make them like they used to, a tiny scratch on a CD now will make it unplayable.
I can't decide on the quality of vinyl these days as there's so much variation in new pressings There appears to be no 'standard', so you're constantly having to use the faders to keep some sort of volume level.
Back to the OP, 'Vinyls' is not a word.

I have a lot of 'vinyls', but they are stored in my shed.
After nearly 20 hot summers I probably now only have one very big one !

I think they were probably shellac as opposed to vinyl... or possibly even shellacs

When I started buying 'records' in the mid 70's we simply referred to them as singles and albums ... and then occasionally boast about having a 12" single. I think I've still got a 10" single up in the loft.

First single I bought was in 1975 ... Minnie Riperton ... "Lovin' You".
First album - released in 1974, but probably bought in 1975 was Slade's "Old New Borrowed and Blue"

Still have them.

The 10” was called the LP, many people refer to albums as LP’s which may be incorrect.

And don't get me started on 'headquartered'

Correct I thought the 1977 'EP' I have by punk rock band London (No Time/Siouxsie Sue/Summer of Love/Friday on my Mind) was on 10" ... it's actually 12"

The one 10" record I have is Stephen Fretwell's '8 Songs' - which Discogs describe as 10", Single, Mini-Album ... and oddly has 9 songs, not 8.

I've got quite a few 10 inch singles. Not old 78s, but there was a spate of them in the late eighties / early nineties, presumably for marketing reasons. I've got three by the Lemonheads alone, plus ones by I Ludicrous, Throwing Muses, Fatima Mansions, PWEI, A House and Aztec Camera. I've also got a 10" double groove by the Proclaimers. Double groove was a strange concept where two tracks were etched into one side and you got to hear whichever one the needle dropped into. That was quite annoying, but not as annoying as the 5" single I have by Green on Red that would operate the automatic arm return on my turntable the moment you placed the needle on it.

 

[Wozza]

Not just me pushing back. Pleasing.

 

[BrianB]

One of the more unusual releases on the Stiff label.

I've definitely got Short Circuit; Last Night at the Electric Circus on the original 10". Just looked and also came across Guillotine which is a pretty good virgin sampler on 10". Think there might be a couple of others hidden away too.

 

[Wozza]

Nope.
