Also a Record Player of that Vintage (1960's/70's) had a System Called "Auto Change" So If You put the Tonearm on the start of this size Record It would just Automatically switch off. Unless You Bought that Dedicated Plastic Turntable or You were Rich or Worked In a Radio Station You would not have a Player like We have today. This could have been the factor these didn't take off with the Public. The most common Player everyone had (Even the Stars) was a Dansette. Nice Video again.

I remember back in the late 80s there were battery operated cars with a speaker and A stylus on the bottom. you turned it on, set the speed, then set it down on the record. As it drove around the record, it played whatever was on the record.

@ressljs 5 жыл бұрын

Despite the ridiculous add showing the record literally sticking out of someone's pocket, I wonder if they intended to make small cases that would hold a stack of these records, sort of like the small CD books that accompanied the early days of that format. Not exactly pocket sized, but women could toss it in their purse or kids could just carry that small package to their friends house to take their music with them. I could see this format appealing to a specific demographic, but if there sound quality wasn't there, I understand why most people opted to stick with traditional formats.

I never had any of the Pocket Discs (I've seen them at record stores) but I had several Flexidiscs that were included in magazines or books. The problem with all Flexidics was their high surface noise. They were OK if you played them on a mono phonograph but the rumble is noisy on a good stereo. And somehow all of mine got bent unless they were glued to cardboard.

When I was a kid I purchased one of these in a vending machine at the neighborhood pharmacy. The song was In a gadda da vida by Iron Butterfly. It came in a light blue cardboard wallet. I just came across it today and it made me decide to do some research on them. Yes they didn't last long and I have no idea what they are worth but had I been a Beatles fan, they seem to fetch a penny or two. It would be interesting to learn the run numbers so collectors can determine rarity. Seems the covers don't survive so I guess having one with the cover is rare within itself. Mine spent many decades put away in the pages of an encyclopedia under the heading of "Records".

@markmarkofkane8167 6 жыл бұрын

I had small records like that in a toy telephone. Also, portable records came out about 1900, with 5-6 inch 78 RPM records. I bought some off of eBay. I do have a few flexy disks. Humpback whale sounds (National Geographic or Reader's Digest), McDonald's, and how to play a guitar lessons. I am fascinated by all the different kinds. I wish I took care of the ones I got off of cereal boxes.

The most common turntables the average American had in the 50s-late 70s had been typically part of an all-in-one, a portable, or a console stereo. These were typically record changers made by Birmingham Sound Reproducers (BSR) or Garrard. Some of the better all-in-ones and consoles also used Voice Of Music (VM) and even Dual turntable decks. Magnavox used Collaro changers, and General-Electric used Glasser-Steers changers (later in-house). As these pocket discs were too small, unless you had a standalone manual turntable, the auto-return would trigger, making these pocket discs unplayable. I have a spare record changer which you can play with if I find it. It's a Sony PS-77 with a BSR changer. Forgot what magnetic cartridge it has since I hadn't used it in a few months ever since I switched to using Dual record changers.

I know right?! Well, basically if a Band, or even a third party label (like CD Baby, iTunes, Universal Music Group, etc..) upload their song to KZfaq’s “Content ID” system, then if I play that song, the video might get copyright strikes, which sucks! It’s a really flawed system that needs to change. So I just avoid the drama and don’t play anything, lol.

My only problem is that it won't play on any of my turntables, my turntables consider the album to be over once they get within 4 inches of center.

One issue that I think people might have with these are how some record players have this mechanism that automatically returns the needle, to it's resting position, when the record comes to an end. It appears that these records are smaller, beyond that point on a standard record, possibly making it frustrating to try and play one of these, unless you are able to somehow disable or trick that mechanism.

I'm a little disappointed you didn't play a sample of that pocket disc you were holding. I know you can't play the whole thing because of copyright laws, but a 10- or 15-second sample would be perfectly legal, and it would've given us the opportunity to hear the difference in sound-quality between the pocket disc and a regular LP. Nonetheless, a very interesting topic -- I had no idea these discs even existed! Cool find!
