Having lived close to 60 glorious years of great fan following, Vinyl Records seem to have found their way back in the 21st century with Hi Fi vintage systems coming back to demand. No jazz or soul or blues album would be sold well without a Hi Fi Vinyl Record made for it with the singer’s smiling photograph printed well on its cover.

They might have lost the war of clarity & format to the digital systems starting in the late 1980s however the restored Hi Fi Vinyl records have found a new generation of admirers and collectors.

Hi Fi Vinyl’s come in various sizes 7, 10 and 12 inches. I always thought that the Hi Fi Vinyl records were those huge Frisbee like black circular discs which only are 12 inches in size. Well, I was wrong.

What is even more interesting is that the commercial music seen is still very keen to use Hi Fi Vinyl records for their business. DJs always prefer to use Hi Fi Vinyl records playing live at discotheques or concerts. New artists of alternate, new age and instrumental music come up with their albums recording it all on Hi Fi Vinyl records.

I was rather fascinated with this new “School of DJs” which has opened up close to my neighborhood where young aspirants are taught the art of playing, mixing and composing tracks/music using Hi Fi Vinyl records. A lot of these talented guys are carrying such Hi Fi Vinyl records by the dozen.

Most Hi Fi Vinyl Records had both sides of the record being used to carry grooves. While also most Hi Fi Vinyl discs came in the iconic carbon black which increased the strength of the disc.

With initial vinyl records giving problem in quality of sound, a revolution came when LPs were the dominant size and Hi Fi sound became the standard of good quality.

So in case you have some legacy of music records left by your grand parents left behind in the form of Hi Fi Vinyl discs, think twice before chucking them. There is a whole new market out there online who want their hands on it at any price. Most popular online auction sites welcome Hi Fi Vinyl record sellers for pop, classic, jazz and instrumental music.
