Life is just a box of chocolate records

drakeygirl's picture

A baker in Fife has produced a playable record made from chocolate. (Story here, via @Beathigh)

I like the fact that his first effort, using the vinyl as a mould, was the 'opposite' of the original. Shades of Judas Priest and backwards messages?

Apparently Supergrass are reissuing I Should Cocoa in this format, too.

Tasty Record

And Deacon Blue are putting out Chocolate Girl again too!

Does this mean the diet's off?

As just the mention of chocolate has stimulated a Pavlovian reflex chez Clef.

Just when I thought I had it licked.

This happened in the late '80's. In fact I bought Pump Up The Volume by, erm, Mars, in this format.

Cirrus - Rollin' On

Any one else buy this single in 1978 on oblong brown vinyl? It was used in a Yorkie advert.

It did look a bit odd sitting in my metal toast rack-esque singles holder.

just to prove there's nothing new under the sun.

just to prove there's nothing new under the sun I recall reading about these little beauties.

The two very rare tin phonographs pictured above were made in late 1903 and have to rank among the most unusual phonographs ever made: they were designed to play disk records made of chocolate! Made by the Stollwerck Chocolate company in Germany, the phonographs were powered by a tiny clock motor made by Junghans, a company still in the clock business today.

Read about them here

You beat me to it

You can see examples of these early 20th century chocolate records at the EMI Archive Trust which is based in Hayes, Middlesex. More info & other chocloate records here:

Just come back from Cologne, but didn't visit the chocolate museum. Will do it next year.

I recall...

... that the 80's advert for Revels had retooled lyrics from Rebel Rebel in it. To this day that's how I hear it in my head.

Bleurg! Those Double Deckers were 'orrible.

Then again, we all have our own choccadillos. I used to think the old Aztec (Camera) bars were much superior to the Mars bar but they vanished without trace..

Bev

a dear friend of mine gave me for my 25th birthday a 12" record made of chocolate with the centre label made out of rice paper and put it in the first Arab Strap sleeve. Totally blew me away, so much love and thought went into it. It didn't last long as my birthday is on June 24th and it was one of the hottest days of the year to that point that year so we all scoffed it down. She then gave me the vinyl to go in its place.

There's a Supergroup on the cards here.

Him out of Scritti Politti and Colin Vearncombe getting together to reinterpret the songs of Errol Brown.

They'll be known as Green And Black's Hot Chocolate.

They could be supported by

the singer from ABC performing Groove Is In The Heart with a band from Istanbul. That'll be Fry's Turkish Dee-Lite.

I burned Dick Dastardly a song from John Grant's lp

He hated it so much he chucked it in a hole Muttley had dug in his garden.

That's all well and good...

but I literally burned and partially melted several copies of the debut album by Mike Skinner (as opposed to his later poor efforts), and I was so ashamed I hid them away in the container for Public Image Ltd's second album. The result was a metal box of Quality Streets soft centres.
