MELODY CARDS
RECORDS

The overwhelming majority of records manufactured have been of certain sizes (7, 10, or 12 inches), playback speeds (33?, 45, or 78 RPM), and appearance (round black discs). However, since the commercial adoption of the gramophone record, a wide variety of records have also been produced that do not fall into these categories, and they have served a variety of purposes."Melody Cards" were popular in the late 1950s. These took the form of an oversized rectangular postcard with the usual address and greeting space on one side and an illustration on the other. The illustration was overlaid with a transparent plastic material into which have been embossed the grooves for the recording which was usually musical as the name implies. They typically played at 45 rpm. It was not recommended to write on them with a ball point pen, but these were not all that common at the time.
