adjective
adjective: obsolete
1.
no longer produced or used; out of date.
Clearly LPs and analog and the other examples you gave are produced and are used as soon as they are made. So at least as far as the dictionary is concerned, the word does not apply in this case.
'older tech' seems more apropos...
