The word, "Record” when related to vinyl.Ahmet Ertegun who was 83 when he died had the purest and most natural way of saying the word "record". It was as if he is a piece of vinyl with a large amount of old school class.
Some people have a way with words I guess.
Yesterday I saw a very cool show on hd kqed about Atlantic records with Ahmet Ertegun interviewing some his popular artists. Freaking totally awesome. It must have been his last because he died Dec 2006.
The ammount of Vinyl shown on that show was fun to watch. The labels were cool.

...the way some people say "wreck-cord" instead of "rekkurd"?
"wireless" when referring to the radio here in the UK
I am one of those guys :o)Also "gramophone", "needle" etc.
I love the old war movies where the Brits would say, "Get on the wireles and call HQ", or something like that. It's facinating how different cultures use the English language. In America we really butcher it at times. But I call records records and CD's CD's as well, and tape, tape...I rarely listen to downloaded musiv though I do have quite a bit on my hard drive, guess that would be MP3's. So what's it called if it's on an IPOD?
You must be a fairly young feller. If you had been born before CDs, cassette, 8 track everything was either on vinyl or reel tape. Everything on vinyl was just referred to as records since there really wasn't other mediums of music. I still call records, records. Habit I guess. CDs I call CDs, cassettes I call cassettes and 8 tracks I don't call at all.Ok, I guess I will admit it, I am an "Older Guy". There, now do you feel better? ;o)
Records are records...plain and simple; flat, most times black, made of vinyl (which is a "new" word, actually...I think we just said "plastic"). CDs are CDs, NOT records, dammit!Anyone wanna fight? C'mon, I'll take yuz on one at a time or all together!

I'm the same way... calling everything records,But some older guys speak it in a way that's mesmerizing.
Get an old jazz collector from Brooklyn, ask him to tell you a story about records... this is music to my ears.
to me, it's a rekkid. Even if it's a CD.
Well...ok, if it's a tape, it's a tape.
But otherwise--rekkid.
And aren't labels awesome? One of the things I missed most when I was playing only ceedees was the label. Even when some multinational entertainment conglomo bothers to screen a cool label on a ceedee (and there are many--Sony screened a six-eye label on a recent Marty Stuart disc), you can't see it while it's playing.

it aint CDs is it?sometimes i refer to music on a CD as a record. But I think that is a case where a record was issued on CD. it's a mistake to call a CD a record ... or old fashioned. I have CD versions of records ... I wish I had the record.
i refer to CDs as records too and referring to an album of music on cassette likewise. any recording is a 'record' of the event.
I'm the same way, CD or vinyl are both "records".Cassettes were always "tapes". I thought it was weird that people had entire collections of commercially-produced cassettes. It was a convenient medium, but hardly archival.
Yes... you know what i'm talking about!It feels good on a Friday night,
Thank you for your post
