I listened to a phonograph record when I was young.
was this before the 1950s when the discs were made from shellac?
I think all old school records are consider phonograph records, even vinyl records.
they all have grooves which start at the periphery and end near the centre
Older ones were made from shellac. They come in different sizes too.
shellac is a resin, more modern records are polyvinyl
I believe they are also referred to as gramphones in England. Are you English?
i am English and yes we call them gramophones that play phonograph records
