| Novelty Records for Children - 1960s |
As far as I can work
out, these little book records were made by a Dutch company, Mulder
and Zoon. One website found that mentions them
http://www.minigroove.nl/mulder4.html
suggests that they may date to the early sixties and I can confirm
that they are at least this old. I really don't quite know what to do
with them – any suggestions appreciated.
I listened to them
quite a bit as a child, but its hard to imagine that they would
captivate the current crop of under fives who are quite capable of
independently accessing streaming services. I thought they were
pretty impressive at the time, though. One has to remember that
there was once a world without Wiggles, You Tube and Netflix. Never
the less, these are still cute, and as far as I know still work, the
only major design flaw being that you can't exactly read along whilst
playing the record!!
