Those who enjoy this may also be fascinated to hear the voice of Pope Leo XIII (born a little over 200 years ago: 2nd March 1810) This is posted on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Pv-UuGUDM. The recording also features as the "bonus track" on an album called "The Last Castrato" which showcases the work of Alessandro Moreschi. One imagines Mr. Moreschi propping up the bar at the Vatican Castrato Club and squeaking "Hmm, bit quiet tonight" to the barman. Thanks for the ringtone tips!

I would especially love to hear the recording of your family discussing 1950s house prices... Those sound fantastic, Lady Crafthole.

When I was 17 I went with my family to Singapore. I had never been further than North France at that point, and have not been past Germany since, so that was a very important two weeks for me. I had a little dictaphone which I loved, and I took it with me and recorded the whole thing as an audio diary. They bring the place back to me SO much ore than any other momento. We also have a recording made on a reel-to-reel back in the fifties when my mum was a little girl, with her mum&dad & auntie sitting round a table talking about house prices amongst other things, unaware that they were being recorded. It is ghostly to listen to. There’s something so enigmatic about sound that you do not get from an image. When I was 17 I went with my family to Singapore.

I've successfully added this as a ringtone to my phone as an MP3, but let me know if anyone needs a different format and I'll see what I can do. Amazing recording! Enjoy! Mike the Retronaut!
