Vinyl Record Day

Who does not love listening to music? National Vinyl Record Day was created for music lovers who not only appreciate high-quality sound, but also have a collection of vinyl records. Records are a special love for true fans, which is why right now is the time to dust off the record player and enjoy the timeless classics!

The History

National Day was founded by Gary Freiberg of Los Osos, California. He chose the date of the invention of the phonograph – the first device for recording and reproducing sound, created by Thomas Edison in 1877.

Gary encourages not only passionate music fans, but also ordinary people to remember the things that forever changed the music world. A vinyl record is a real gift from bygone years!
