Vintage Fonoscope Vinyl Records on a Postcard - Italy Edition!!!

Описание: I found some old "Fonoscope" postcards (also known as "Phonoscope") which have a 78 rpm recording stamped on the laminated side of the picture postcard! They are likely from the 1960's or early 70's. My vinyl record player only has 33 rpm and 45 rpm modes, so I filmed these at 45 rpm. Through the magic of video editing I was able to speed them up for you to hear the music properly!

The content of this video is for educational purposes only. I do not hold copyright or know if any of these mostly excerpts ("stralcio" in Italian) will match the YouTube content database, even though the quality is quite poor. There is only so much audio fidelity you can get out of these, but I don't think it is my record player or recording method that is responsible! What do you think? Do you have similar audio postcards and have you had better luck with them? Let me know in the comments!
