The first rock n roll records were on 78s. These are part of the history of music.
Emile Berliner (the Inventor of the 78 RPM disc) created the first true disc record in 1888. However, unlike the Edison model, his playback device used an electric motor. The motor played back a disc at times between 70 and 80 RPM.
Audio manufacturers turned to producing record players and the idea of a 78 RPM turntable became the norm because the 3600 RPM motor used within the turntable saw peak performance at 78.26 RPM. So eventually, this became the official record standard by 1925.
These early records had their short comings however. Not only were they limited in playback time (approximately 3 minutes per side) but also were quite brittle and prone to shatter as they were made of a shellac material. The size of disc varied over time with 10 inches eventually becoming a popular size.
Early rock n roll was made on 78s before being released on the new format 45 rpm and thus the pop single saw the light of day.
