When did records first come out?
Answers:
It depends on what you mean by "records" . Records as in record albums ? They came out in flat circular disk form back just before or at the turn of the 20th century (late 1800s to1900 era). Before that they were tubular -- invented by THOMAS A. EDISON -- I live in the town where he WINTERED ( SW FLA) ! Record albums were originally in the form of what are called 78s -- smaller than LPs & bigger than 45s . The 78s were also very thick ! I had some & like an idiot I gave them away !
Go on your search engine and enter: record albums, or invention of the record album, etc. Good luck!
I think you'll find your best answers there -- also try: WIKIPEDIA (it's an excellent site) !
But if you mean records as in History records or the recording of events, well that goes back to b4 the Egyptians, I believe the Phenitians (sp?) . And even the Caveman left "records" on cave walls ! Aunt Barbie

A gramophone record (also phonograph record, or simply record) is an analogue sound recording medium consisting of a flat disc with an inscribed modulated spiral groove starting near the periphery and ending near the center of the disc. Gramophone records were the primary medium used for commercial music reproduction for most of the 20th century. They replaced the phonograph cylinder as the most popular recording medium in the 1900s, and although they were supplanted in popularity in the late 1980s by digital media, they continue to be manufactured and sold as of 2007. Gramophone records remain the medium of choice for many audiophiles and music aficionados, especially in the electronica genre.
The terms LP record (LP, 33, or 33-1/3 rpm record), EP, 16-2/3 rpm record (16), 45 rpm record (45), and 78 rpm record (78) each refer to specific types of gramophone records. Except for the LP and EP (which are contractions of Long Play and Extended Play respectively), these type designations refer to their rotational speeds in revolutions per minute (RPM). LPs, 45s, and 16s are usually made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and hence may be referred to as vinyl records or simply vinyl.

But they were using cylinders into the 1920s.
