VISUAL NOTES: An Elegy for The Paper Record

The paper Flexi-Record enjoyed a short, albeit popular life before I was even born. Oh Flexi-Record, how I would have loved to witness the advent of your existence! I would have marveled at your grooves, pressed into hot acetate film by original Heidelberg printing presses in New York City print shops. You were cleverly adhered to a cardboard backing. How the children enjoyed your scratchy recordings of well-loved cartoon songs!
