Introduced in 1930 and discontinued in 1932, these records were made from a flexible synthetic resin (Durium) coated on brown paper.
What are sound recordings made of?
Initially sound was recorded on wax cylinders. By the end of the 1920s, however, recordings were made of a heavy, fragile shellac compound.
Producers began looking for better options and started experimenting with materials that were lighter, flexible and less fragile.
