Author Topic: Vinyl record sales increase Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-28-2008 10:01 AM                     quote: Stephen Furley Does anybody remember the booths in places like shopping centres and railway stations where you could record your voice? I think they were mainly used to send greetings to friends and family. From memory, I think they were smaller than the standard 7", and the quality was terrible. I wonder in one of those machines has been preserved in a museum somewhere? I seem to remember hearing of them. One was featured on one of the two Brighton piers in the 1947 film "Brighton Rock" starring Richard Attenborough. The disc did appear to be smaller than 7". http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0039220/ The beautiful restored B+W print from the nitrate negative released on DVD is worth seeing. Three pictures follow.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 09-28-2008 11:05 AM                     Bernard, that's similar to the ones that I saw, but obviously older, I was -10 years old at that time. I saw the more modern ones in several places, but I can only remember where one of them was. It was when my mother was working at he Elephant and Castle, which would make it about 1970, and there was one in the shopping centre there. I saw it several times, and wanted to try it, but on the day that I went to it it was out of order, and the next time I went there it had gone.  |  IP: Logged
