Well, hello there my friend! I see there is quite a bit of a debate over this particular subject when one punches in "the plural to vinyl is"... And also the Oxford English Dictionary does not support changing the plural to vinyl to "vinyls".. so it depends on which dictionary one uses as a reference. Another point is where many grammar specialists treat the word "vinyl" as a mass noun, just like the words beer, cheese, fish, sheep, and deer, which do not use a plural and as such do not have an "s"... Ah, the debate continues!
But, if someone specializes in beers from around the world, they can say (as I just did) that they have many beers for sale. Or, if someone's had a few too many beers. Or, someone could ask, "How many beers did you have before getting behind the wheel?"
Same goes for cheeses or fishes. "There are many fishes in the sea." It sounds like you mean various types of fish whereas, if you say, "There are many fish in the sea", you COULD just be talking about one particular type.
