365 Days #335 - National Safety Council Records (mp3s)

Six scratchy pop-filled 33 1/3 rpm records (to accompany a filmstrip or slides?) from the National Safety Council (in collaboration with the United States Department of Labor on 5 of the discs) from well over 50 years ago.

Picked up the lot at a second hand furniture store in Oakland, California in 2005. The shopkeeper pointed to me a corner of broken down tables and chairs and cabinets that were free and on the way out the door. I took a look figuring I could always use something (or possibly restore something). It was all trash, but... looking inside a small side table cabinet I saw a box in the far back. I pulled it out and dusted it off and looked inside and there they were, these 6 records. No paper sleeves, just the vinyl and layers of dust about them. I asked the store owner how much and (bless her heart) she let me have them for free. So here they are. For two years they have been collecting dust at my home so it's about time they got shared, for everyone's safety.

Hello My name is Tae. I found out about your "wfmu" blog not too long ago and ever since then I've been enjoying quite a lot. I am also wondering if you would be interested in checking out my music.

I'm Brooklyn based electronica artist under A-ux. My style is big
beat+ melodic ambient and my sound can be compared to Chemical
Brothers, Digitalism, Prefuse 73, Daft Punk and Plaid.

Based on listening to one of them, I'm thinking this was for a slideshow - there are little "plinking" sounds that the projector operator would use to advance to the next slide.
