sifting through some tat at Deptford flea market last weekend, i stumbled across a Hungarian postcard with an image of some young girls in traditional dress, except it had grooves, and it plays perfectly!

never seen anything like it before, but i guess it's a bit like a flexi, only more robust. and mailable.

Here's another one:

The one i have was some kind of folkish classical thing. Can't remember if the artist is listed or not.
