A remarkable 1959 Austrian artifact: a flexi-disc containing 42 minutes of spoken word and Schlager music. "Tönende Illustrierte" (Sounding Illustrated) was an ambitious multimedia project combining visual illustrations with recorded audio, representing a unique moment before the LP era fully standardized. The program features spoken pieces and performances in the Schlager tradition—Austrian/German popular song characterized by sentimental melodies and emotional directness. Primarily a document of its era, capturing specific production values, vocal styles, and instrumental arrangements. Flexi-discs rarely survive decades of play, making original copies genuinely scarce. An unusual and valuable piece for collectors interested in forgotten media formats and entertainment history.
