• History : The Phonograph Was Invented In 1877 By Thomas Edison. While Other Inventors Had Produced Devices That Could Record Sounds, Edison'S Phonograph Was The First To Be Able To Reproduce The Recorded Sound. His Phonograph Originally Recorded Sound Onto A Tinfoil Sheet Wrapped Around A Rotating Cylinder. A Stylus Responding To Sound Vibrations Produced An Up And Down Or Hill-And-Dale Groove In The Foil. The Disc Phonograph Record Was The Dominant Audio Recording Format Throughout Most Of The 20Th Century. In The 1980S, Phonograph Use On A Standard Record Player Declined Sharply Due To The Rise Of The Cassette Tape, Compact Disc, And Other Digital Recording Formats. However, Records Are Still A Favorite Format For Some Audiophiles, Djs And Turntablists (Particularly In Hip Hop And Electronic Dance Music), And Have Undergone A Revival In The 2010S. The Original Recordings Of Musicians, Which May Have Been Recorded On Tape Or Digital Methods, Are Sometimes Re-Issued On Vinyl.
