when did the first vinyl record come out?
the 1950s
in 1954, ashcroft laid down his first commercial recordings–six sides (three 78rpms) for rodeo records. these were recorded live. his mid-1950s phillips ‘microgroove’ vinyl album, "songs of the western trail", also recorded live with the gaby rogers orchestra, was australia's first vinyl c&w ‘long play’ (lp) record. four years later the next australian c&w vinyl lp made its appearance. "songs of the western trail" is ensconced in australia's recording history. and australia's very first trucking song, "highway 31", written by ashcroft, enhanced its uniqueness. eight sides (four 78rpms) were eventually released from this album.
