Earlier LPs were made of other plastics such as Bakelite and shellac. The advantages of vinyl records those made from these earlier materials were that they were lighter, less brittle, and were cheap and easy to produce, making mass production possible. Problems of sound quality, ease of damage by scratching, and warping of records when exposed to heat were prominent factors in the decline of vinyl from the 1980s, and its replacement by polycarbonate compact discs (CDs).Science & Society Picture LibraryScience Museum/Science & Society Picture LibraryUnited KingdomThe 1960s (1960-1969)http://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1997/_792/3_SP/H_19/64_/1997_7923_SPH_1964_225_1.jpghttp://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1997/_792/3_SP/H_19/64_/1997_7923_SPH_1964_225_2.jpghttp://www.ingenious.org.uk/media/4.0_SAC/webimages/1997/_792/3_SP/H_19/64_/1997_7923_SPH_1964_225_3.jpg1997-7923_SPH_1964_225National Railway Museumen-ukimagexml1964Stations, A-ZForegate Street station, Worcester, 1964.Outside Foregate Street station, Worcester, 1964.
