LP#4My little chinese colored flexidiscs from the 50's/60's

Nostalgia ...
I went to china 3 years ago, and i feel nostalgic today about that trip, i feel like listening again to that crappy flexidiscs i bought in Beijing on a flea market.
--
And i want to share them with my few readers, these little chinese vinyl records, they are incredibly attractive : very thin, translucid and in color RGB flexidiscs ! Operettes, traditionnal songs and classical orchestra favorites, and even some easy listening surf rock. The sound of the vinyl rips is a bit scratchy of course : ( , but consider where i've bought them, believe me it is not that bad. Sweet vinyl records !
Check the wonderful portable turntable that comes along with them.

--#01 a red 45rpm.
The first share is a Red 45rpm. I really don't know anything about what these 4 songs refers to, it is a kind of easy-listening chinese operette with strings and male or female vocalists. Have a listen, This is China back in the years, follow the links !

--#02 a green 45rpm.
This one is an exotica rock instrumentals record. Very quiet and peaceful. Easy listening steel guitar, hawain style ukulele. Sit back, relax and enjoy ! Once again sorry for the bad quality, i have to cut some two of the songs because of the heavy background noises.

1930's Ipod cane !

WALKER CAN TUNE IN WITH RADIO IN CANE

So that a pedestrian may enjoy broadcast programs wherever he goes, a German, inventor, Alfred Mintus, has devised what he calls a “radio walking stick.” Outwardly it resembles an ordinary cane, but the interior contains a miniature receiver and batteries. The user has merely to plant the stick in the ground, adjust a pair of pocket ‘phones to his ears, and listen in, as illustrated in the photograph.
It only remains now for the inventor to perfect the apparatus so the pedestrian need not interrupt his walk while listening in, a possibility foreseen by the inventor of the cane.

Found Tapes

Harold Shellinx : Found Tapes Exhibition

"Some years ago, the Dutch musician, sound artist and researcher started a tape collection by wandering through the streets of cities and suburbia, looking for leftovers, picking up thrown away tapes that otherwise would have been worn up by weathers and time to finally vanish completely.

On the Found Tapes Exhibition website, one can not only view photographs of his found tapes but also browse the contents of these revived Frankenstein style mix-tapes, but listen to and download their soundings as well. And from time to time, the artist invites the audience to live performances based on the acoustic treasures of his collection."
