Here are some interesting facts about records:
πΈ Records as we know them were invented by Emile Berliner in 1897.
πΈ The first records were 7 inches in diameter (175 mm), and they could hold audio recordings that lasted no more than 2 minutes.
πΈ Initially, audio could only be recorded on one side of the record. It wasn't until 1903 that the Odeon Company found a way to make them double-sided.
πΈ The USSR was home to the largest vinyl production facility in the world.
πΈ The most expensive record to date is an album by The Quarrymen, a band formed by John Lennon and later turned into The Beatles.
