Vinyl LP Records

Vinyl records are currently experiencing the biggest boom since the invention of CDs. If you also want to experience the atmosphere of vinyl in the comfort of your home, read on. We will help you navigate the wide range of products.

 

Find your favorite artist

You can choose from a large number of artists - from the giants of European classical music to the latest musical discoveries shaping the sound of the current decade. You can find your favorite artist by simply entering it into the filter on the left. You don't even have to write the whole name. Just enter part of the name in the artist filter - for example, if you are looking for Mozart, just enter "mo" and it will find not only Mozart but also all artists with "mo" in their name, such as Depeche Mode or Arctic Monkeys.

 

What kind of music do you listen to?

Vinyl is not just for serious listeners of classical and jazz enthusiasts who sit motionless with their favorite drink in front of their Hi-Fi system. Music on vinyl has grown into various musical genres and subcultures - from homemade Jamaican sound systems playing the hottest reggae, through the fingers of hip-hop DJs mixing a blend of funk and soul, to the guitar riffs of dark metal, the dance rhythms of electronic music, or the catchy vocals of pop!
On Muziker, you will find all possible musical styles. Sort your vinyl records based on your musical taste.
Using the filter on the left side of the website, you can select all your favorite genres, and if you have an extremely refined taste, you can filter vinyl records by subgenres. Just click on the styles close to your heart, and our entire offer will be displayed.

 

When size matters

You can also filter by the type of vinyl record. Sort your selection - whether you are looking for just a 7" single, a 10" EP, or a full album on 12".
You can also select, for example, special editions of picture discs, exclusive box sets suitable as valuable gifts, or collections of "The Greatest Hits" and much more.

 

LP vs. EP

The LP and EP labels can be found on each album. This abbreviation indicates the length of the recording.

EP, or extended play, refers to records that contain extra recordings compared to single play records.

LP, or long-playing vinyl, generally refers to records that contain full albums, so they are longer than EP records.

 

Weight and speed

Speed is indicated in the description of each record as RPM (revolutions per minute). Simply put, it refers to how many times the turntable with the record rotates in one minute. Standard 10-inch EP and 12-inch LP records rotate at 33 ⅓ RPM. Less commonly, you will encounter 7-inch records that rotate at 45 RPM.

Sometimes you will come across two identical albums, where one will be a classic LP record at 33 ⅓ RPM and the other an album split into multiple records at 45 RPM. Such split albums are recorded with higher recording precision. Therefore, they are considered to be of higher quality and are intended primarily for audiophiles.

   

Weight of the record primarily indicates its quality. The heavier the record, the less susceptible it is to damage from external influences and the higher the quality of the recording itself. A record weighing 180 - 200 g is generally considered a higher-quality medium, but expect a higher price as well.

 

History

The invention of the record appeared at the end of the 19th century and its origin is associated with the sound cylinder invented by T. A. Edison. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, sound cylinders and records coexisted, but after the patent for records expired in 1918, records quickly gained prominence.

The first records were made from shellac, later in the 1950s, vinyl began to be used. Shellac records had thicker grooves. A thicker needle was used for their playback, and one side could contain a maximum of 3 minutes (for a 25 cm record) or 5 minutes (for a 30 cm record) of sound.

The first LP record was introduced on June 21, 1948. It was a recording of violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Each side of the record contained 23 minutes of music.

Record sales began to decline in the second half of the 1980s and in the early 1990s, records were definitively replaced by CDs.
