The fragile Edison 24 and 40 minute Long Play records were decades ahead of their time. Recorded at 400 grooves per inch, far more than a modern LP record, they spun at 80RPM! Few of these records survive, because when the fragile diamond stylus broke, or skipped, the record payed the price, and this happened more often than expected, and these machines and records were pulled from production in 1927.
