Just 7" of thin vinyl connects generations, continents, lovers and the lost. From 1935 until the coming of the cassette, anyone, anywhere in the world, from Australia to Argentina, could walk into an auto-recording booth, from the Empire State to Brighton Pier, a Cunard Liner to the NAAFI and make their own short gramophone record. From the anonymous to the likes of Tennessee Williams, the Beats and Gracie Fields, join Alain Dein on a journey through the grooves of time and memory. Producer: Mark Burman First broadcast on ��ѿ��ý Radio 4 in April 2002.
