I wasn't sure, so i figured I'd take a "teach me" approach. They have made phonograph records out of a remarkable variety of materials, so I allowed for the possibility of a specialty collection. Nylon would not be a bad material: thermoplastic and thus moldable, very durable, and low friction at the stylus. But vinyl proved much cheaper to mold. cn

Not to mention they look ever so sexy when you wear them. I don't have the legs for it but I'm sure Hephaestus can pull it off. :p

I'd love a link. To the best of my knowledge, a shellac compound was used in most 78s and was directly supplanted by vinyl. I am intrigued. cn

The nylon records are hevy and thick not many around any more because they got super brittle, if you drop one of these they explode into a million pieces.. then you cry.

Nylon is amazingly tough. I wonder if you're referring to the shellac compound of which most 78s were made. cn

By the way, I thought I should mention, it's "losing", not "loosing". Sorry for being trollish, but I have OCD about that kind of thing.
