  1. phonograph record

    A phonograph record, also known as a vinyl record or simply a record, is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the center of the disc. The phonograph disc record was the primary medium used for music reproduction throughout the 20th century. It was first developed by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century. When played on a turntable, the rotation of the disc causes a stylus to follow the groove, converting the vibrations into sound.
