Vinyl: A History Of The Analogue Record


LINK === https://blltly.com/2tlAl1





Vinyl: A History of the Analogue Record is the first in-depth study of the vinyl record. Richard Osborne traces the evolution of the recording format from its roots in the first sound recording experiments to its survival in the world of digital technologies. This book addresses the record's relationship with music: the analogue record was shaped by, and helped to shape, the music of the twentieth century. It also looks at the cult of vinyl records. Why are users so passionate about this format Why has it become the subject of artworks and advertisements Why are vinyl records still being produced This book explores its subject using a distinctive approach: the author takes the vinyl record apart and historicizes its construction. Each chapter explores a different element: the groove, the disc shape, the label, vinyl itself, the album, the single, the b-side and the 12" single, and the sleeve. By anatomizing vinyl in this manner, the author shines new light on its impact and appeal.


Where old disc recordings are considered to be of artistic or historic interest, from before the era of tape or where no tape master exists, archivists play back the disc on suitable equipment and record the result, typically onto a digital format, which can be copied and manipulated to remove analog flaws without any further damage to the source recording. For example, Nimbus Records uses a specially built horn record player[104] to transfer 78s. Anyone can do this using a standard record player with a suitable pickup, a phono-preamp (pre-amplifier) and a typical personal computer. However, for accurate transfer, professional archivists carefully choose the correct stylus shape and diameter, tracking weight, equalisation curve and other playback parameters and use high-quality analogue-to-digital converters.[105]


I am really chuffed that ShopCurious has been able to collaborate with Olympic Studios Records on an analogue archive of collectable curiosities, including vintage typewriters and a limited edition luxury book featuring the cover art of 100 albums recorded or mixed at the studios.


First thing is first, sound is by its very nature analogue. As a result, analogue music sources deliver a sound that is as close to the original recording as possible, warts and all. Added to this, vinyl is a lossless format so nothing is lost when the record is pressed, again retaining the sound as it was recorded, in the respect to compression.


The vinyl LP (As we know it, I am talking about Shellac records!) was first introduced back in 1948 as an analogue sound storage medium. Reaching 33 1/3 revolutions per minute, this new invention went on to become the standard for the entire music industry. It is no surprise that as the price of vinyl fell, the rock n roll and the pop revolution was born.


Before the birth of the vinyl LP, records were made from abrasive material and their recording time was limited to five minutes per side. The vinyl LP revolutionised this as it could fit up to twenty minutes of music on both sides. Perfect for extended recording, artists could now record albums of work. The rest is history.


As mentioned above, vinyl is an analogue medium so is well suited to reproducing analogue sound. Sound quality is particularly rich for recordings made in the 50s, 60s and 70s as they were recorded analogically. The sound of vinyl has a depth and authenticity that more modern mediums find difficult to match.


It is argued that CDs lose that authentic character enjoyed by vinyl and instead offer a clinical, cold and thin quality. This is especially the case of older works that were recorded in analogue and have since been digitized. Moreover, because of the act of compression, frequencies are cut and as a result the sound lacks depth.


With the dawn of CD in the mid 80s it was essential to have an amplifier with a pre-amplifier input which could cope with the extended dynamic range. Indeed by then most quality amps had an auxiliary socket and wi
