International Vinyl Record Day

When is Disco Day?

International Vinyl Record Day was created to commemorate the LP format and celebrate the anniversary of the phonograph, which was first introduced on October 12, 1877. The purpose of this day is to pay tribute to its inventor, Thomas Alva Edison , who left us a device capable of giving us maximum auditory pleasure.

Music, a universal passion

It is clear that music is present in human beings from birth. Do you know anyone who doesn't like music? From babies, even before they learn to walk, they dance to the rhythm of the bass and drums. Even older adults are encouraged to leave the cane to enjoy their best steps to the sound of music. At KTS, we celebrate this day by spinning our collection of vinyl records in our record stands and boxes.

When and By Whom Was the Vinyl Record Invented?

In our article on the History of Vinyl Records , you’ll find more detailed information about this format, but here are some key points. Although Thomas Edison is known as the pioneer, there are several important figures in its development. One of them is Edouard-Leon Scott , a scientist who, in 1875, laid the groundwork for audio recording with his invention called the Phonautograph , which graphically represented sounds on paper discs. Although Edison took this invention to the next level, all of these contributed to the evolution of this iconic format.

The magic of vinyl records

Thanks to the advances of these minds, today you can enjoy the surround sound offered by a vinyl record. In addition, vinyl allows you to develop a deeper musical taste, decorate your home with a vintage touch and discover covers that are true works of art.

Benefits of Music

Music is one of the most effective therapies in times of uncertainty, as it lifts your mood and brightens your day. It has positive effects on learning, memory, and even heart rate. In addition, when listening to music, we release dopamine, the neurohormone associated with pleasure.

Music in everyday life

Many people start their day with devices like Amazon's Alexa, which wakes them up with their favorite songs, while others prefer to spin their records on the turntable. Even the commute to the office becomes more bearable with a good playlist.

When Did Vinyl Records Stop Being Used?

Historical records indicate that vinyl record production declined between the 1980s and 1990s, due to the popularity of cassettes and CDs. However, today, vinyl has made a strong comeback, being hailed by experts and collectors as a real success.

The return of the classic

Vinyl records are back with a vengeance. Fashion from bygone eras, such as the 1950s, is once again relevant and is combined with trends from the 1970s and 1990s, creating an atmosphere of nostalgia and reinvention.
