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:http://www.lotz-verlag.de/grafiken/Phonokarten/EPI-HSM-1.jpg

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