This is one  of the first items I ever obtained for my "second collection," an early 80s thrift  store find that set me back 75 cents.   It"s sonically appealing because of the insistent low frequency rhythms,  and it"s emotionally resonant because most of the recordings are of canines  with heart problems.  It"s a lot like  Lennon and Ono"s “Baby"s Heartbeat" (1969) but much longer and more varied - plus  it"s doggies!

It's "The Art of Heart Auscultation" (see the entry for May 3 - http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/05-1.html) for veterinarians!

And speaking of which:

"iPods Help Docs Improve Stethoscope Skills"

My friend (whose dad is a vet) gave this record to me a couple of years ago. It remains one of the strangest records in my personal collection. Thanks for this one.

Hey I love this guy's voice, he sounds like a cross between Elmer Fudd and Peter Lorre (sort-of Austro-labiodental). I'd love him to be my dog's vet, except I don't have a dog. And those heart beat sounds, so much softer than you expect them to be. Quite lovely. Almost soothing in a way.

This is my Dad'd record! Thanks for listing it!
