First came 78s. They rotated fast but the vinyl they were pressed on was very fragile, and could easily break after a few years. Then came a softer and slower record, the 45 for a single and 33 1/3 for albums. The better surface was more flexible and with new recording technology the records could achieve a good sound on a slower speed.

When did the first Guinness world records come out?

The first official Guinness world record was not in the caveman time or anything. Guinness World Records was made in the late 1800's. There is no real way of knowing which one was first, but my dad's uncle, Andrew Guinness, was one of the founders of the company. The first record was "Most Piercings on a Person at One Time." ~LD


Why is it called Guinness world records?

The idea came from Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of the Guinness Brewery in 1951. He could not find the facts he needed to settle an argument, so the idea of a compilation of records was born. The first book came out in 1954 and was given free to promote the Guinness stouts. The books proved so popular that further editions were produced and sold from 1955 onward.
