Re: Strange record
The wikipedia article Unusual types of gramophone records mentions a number of these.

Re: Strange record
A fascinating article. I particularly smiled at the idea of a record made of chocolate which you could eat when you didn't want to listen to it any more (or - more likely - it was no longer playable) I don't even want to think about cleaning the mess off the stylus

Re: Strange record
The heat out of my HMV would melt it... I might have to go through all my albums later and look for hidden tracks (luckily it's two weeks of school. Currently I have about 110 albums...). I'm definitley going to keep an eye out for these types of records especially as car boot season has just started . Josh.

Re: Strange record
I've come across this chocolate record thing several times before. In fact it's mentioned in the Shire book concerning phonographs and gramophones. Although it has always been unclear if it was the actual chocolate that was cut as a record or the tinfoil wrapping... like those large chocolate coins that you can get these days.
Cheers, Dave. P.S... I also have one of these puzzle 78's. one of the tracks is "Good Night Sweetheart".
