I found 3 x beautiful German flexi-disc soundcard picture discs yesterday. Dating from the early 60’s they all feature German singers and actresses, including this one of Romy Schneider. I’d be interested to see any that others may have.

A friend colourized them last night and now I think they look even more beautiful!

I don’t have any German ladies, but I do have a pig wearing shades carrying a ghetto-blaster:

Playable Polish Postcards

Some more of my flexi-disc soundcards, these ones which feature national costumes/folk music are also from the early 60’s and were made by Colorvox in Hungary.

I’ve dug up some more postcard / soundcard records, mostly European.
Released in 1973 to celebrate 500 years of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
An English greetings card featuring a previously unknown tune called Somebody Loves Me played by the pre Thunderbirds composer Barry Gray and his Quintet.
A pair of Italian Fonoscope cards.
Issued by BP in 1958 for European Touring Service, this one is for Holland.
This is a beautiful German one featuring the song Why Do The Stars Shine So Brightly Tonight? by Maria Pittrich.

I have a Psychedelic Furs single and you can play the cover. Also once saw a playable postage stamp.
Gardener says
yes I have that one too, it’s for Dumb Waiters. It’s thicker than a postcard disc to be honest but it is very cool and a great tune to boot!
