They actually changed the caption. Now it doesn’t mention what kind of records they are at all!!!

We're updating the caption now. Appreciate you taking the time to write.

Those records in the photo are SHELLAC [breakable] 78's from the 30's and 40's; not vinyl, which was popular in the 50's through the 90's and is still being made today. I don't know who wrote the caption, but the people digitizing these records should know the difference between shellac and vinyl! Do you need an editor??
