Vinyl Day: Celebrate music in its original form!

Record Day: a date to spin your vinyl records

Every October 12th, we celebrate one of the most beloved gems for music lovers: vinyl records . And it's no coincidence. That day commemorates the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Alva Edison, back in 1877. An invention that, unbeknownst to him, would forever revolutionize the way we listen.

Music: a companion from the cradle

Is there anyone who doesn't enjoy music? From the time we're babies, even before we can speak, we tap our feet to the beat. And years later, with or without a cane, we still feel the urge to dance. At Keep Them Spinning , we celebrate this day by doing what we love most: playing our records from a stylish turntable stand with storage that's also decorative.

The origin of vinyl: a shared history

Although Edison patented the phonograph, he wasn't alone in developing recorded sound. Before him, Frenchman Édouard-Léon Scott created the phonautograph in 1875, capable of graphically representing sound. Edison took that idea further, and from then on, a chain of inventions emerged that gave us what we know today as vinyl.

What's special about records?

Vinyl records don't just reproduce music: they make it tangible. They invite you to look at the cover, touch the physical format, and calmly choose which song will come next. What's more, they give your home an unparalleled aesthetic touch if you organize them on a good record shelf or display them creatively.

Listening to music is also taking care of yourself

Did you know that music can improve your mood, improve your memory, and even regulate your heart rate? Listening to your favorite songs—whether on Alexa or a record player—releases dopamine, the hormone that makes us feel pleasure. No matter how you do it, the important thing is to make it a part of your routine.

What happened to vinyl in the 80s and 90s?

During those decades, CDs and cassettes took center stage. Vinyl took a backseat. But like every good story, this one made its triumphant comeback. Today, it's not just back; it's more alive than ever. Vinyl sales have skyrocketed, there are new LP releases every month, and fans are rediscovering the joy of collecting.

The return of authentic sound

Vintage is back: from clothing to furniture, and of course, music too. The most valuable vinyl records are fetching top dollar, and new fans are looking for that warm sound that no digital format has been able to match.
