For all Stylophone owners out there, (I have two, nah nee nah!) here is the third in a series of records for you to play your stylophone along to. Eight Latin American grooves all the way from Cricklewood in West London. Ay Caramba! Etc. Crackly old vinyl, but that just adds to the charm. Check out the wild jazz guitar on Chinatown.
Stylophones are great for playing Telstar on by the way, the sound and the vibrato are spot on.
Wonder if Rolf treated the Queen to a stylophone number or two to put her at her ease while sitting for her portrait... The Corgis would have been upset so perhaps not.

Sweet, now I know where all that instrumental department store elevator music comes from... ...stylophone records, who would've thunk.

My poor baby Stylie Minogue is out of commission at the moment...this makes me want to fix her right up. Stylophone enthusiasts unite!

Thanks for this. I also have an instructional Rolf 45 that came with my Stylophone(which still works). Can't remember much about it except it ends with a young stylophone group giving a performance. You got that one?

This is some of the greatest music I've ever heard. Perfect for any occasion or state of mind. I'd play this at my own funeral.

Keep it up good sir.

Love the Stylophone so much we custom make very retro cool cases for this little electro wonder.

Where did Rolf get it all from? Abo electronics perhaps?
