Invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison as a phonograph, in its later forms also called a gramophone or since the 1940s called a record player, is a device for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound.
Record players from the ’50s and ’60s evoke the first era of rock ‘n’ roll. Most of people in this period wanted a record player. Rock ‘n’ roll began in the ’50s and they wanted to listen to the latest hits on a cheap, portable record player.
Record players, though, were often not cheap, but nevertheless many of them made the sacrifice.
Here below is a set of cool photos that shows people posing with their record players in the 1950s and 1960s.
