Records came in 3 "sizes", to correspond with the speed at which they are played. The speeds are:
The 78 record was made of thicker and heavier material with no flexibility. It has a very narrow hole at the center of the label; the hole goes over the spindle on the stereo or record player. The grooves are more raised than on other records.
The vinyl 33 1/3 (33 and 1/3) is similar to a 78 but is more flexible and is lighter weight and is not as thick. It also has a narrow hole for the spindle.
A 45 record has a hole about the size of a half-dollar. For record players, a small plastic adapter fit into the hole so the record could be played on an older stereo with just a spindle. Later, stereos came with a centered piece that came up the spindle and the hole (without the adapter) would fit onto the wider spindle area.
All 3 types contained a center paper label, giving the song title and singer or band. At first, labels were fairly plain-- no artwork or colors. But 45s and LPs may have artistic labels, with the song title and singer or band.
All three types came with jackets-- a paper cover that was open on the "top" end. Records were slipped into the jackets to keep the records clean. Album covers for 33 & 1/3's opened on the side. The 78s came with photo-like albums (books) containing multiple plain brown jackets which were glued to the binding, like opening a book. The outside of the album was usually plain also. The 78s jackets had an open hole so the label could easily be read.
Vinyl record enthusiasts all over the world are still buying vinyl! They usually purchase from small specialist shops, like 1NOTE who are a UK online retailer who sell Sealed New Vinyl Records. There's also many specific band collectors who still buy and trade vinyl. Especially rare records can sell for over £1000 even on websites like ebay.
I bought some vinyl records at the flea market for my collection.
