Cardboard records & vinyl records

In PRL there were a lot of things that now don't exist. One of this stuff is a cardboard record - pocztówka dźwiękowa.

They were usually like the ordinary postcards, but sometimes they were very big. The surface of them was covered by round plastic-coated. Thanks to that it looks like a vinyl record... And it becomes a vinyl record ;) When you put it on a gramophone or in a record player, it can play.

Cardboard records could be sent like a normal postcard by post. Instead of this, they were very often given personally, for example as a present of birthday. 

Nowadays vinyl records aren't very popular, because people prefer buying music on CDs or online - by iTunes. Fortunately, more and more record studios come back to vinyl record. I think it's great :) A sound of it is impressive. My parents have a small collection of these records and sometimes we listen to it together. 

My favourite song of their cardboard records is "Nim wstanie dzień" by Edmund Fetting.
In my opinion this song is simple, but beautiful...
