Life is just a box of chocolate records
Posted by drakeygirl on 29 June 2011 - 8:05am.
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.
Tutti Frutti!
An ice cream record - now that really would be something!
Why stop at a record?
When you can have a whole city...
George Michael will re-release
Careless Wispa
Choc Berry
Rollo for Beethoven
While Dire Straits
will reprise Your Latest Twix.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here all week …
Old News
This happened in the late '80's. In fact I bought Pump Up The Volume by, erm, Mars, in this format.
This Is Our Music
by Galaxy 500 is due the remastering treatment, I believe.
I believe The Slim Shady LP may also get a re-release
in edible form from M&M.
Will it still work
if someone takes the rapper off?
God
I could murder a cadbury's Flake....
Should give the music industry a Boost
.
I think we are wandering off topic...
...here.
This thread could be a bit of a Marathon -
please don't Snicker at that comment!
Bah! Was gonna say something about
It being a marathon, not a Smint!
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.
Mink DeBourneVille
...anyone?
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

somehow it didn't attach
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:

How odd
Just come back from Cologne, but didn't visit the chocolate museum. Will do it next year.
The chocolate record is allowed...
...but the Chocolate Watch banned
Following TOTP 1976 the other week
The Kinder Surprise Sisters
Revels, Revels,
How could they know?/ Hot tramp, I love you so.
Godley & Creme Egg?
They made the video for The Police's Wrapped Around Your Finger (of Fudge) you know..
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.
Oh god, my puns are suitable for a job as a 'creative'.
I daren't even offer up Cat Stevens' Malteser & The Firecat as an alternative...
Like the miserably named 'Time Out'
used the rather ace "Take Some Time Out For Love" by The Isley Brothers for the ad
I like that this was started just after eight
I'd like that sound of Old Jamaica with Desmond Double Dekker

Bleurg! Those Double Deckers were 'orrible.
Can you still get them?
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..
Those Aztec Camera bars?
I was Oblivious to their charms.

Crackin set of pipes, has Spike. The only replacement for Rod in the New Faces, in my opinion

The Chocolate Top 40!
New entry, Marianne Faithful

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.

And don't forget
Chips from the Chocolate Fireball by The Dukes of Stratosphear
The Undertones
"Mars Bar"
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.
*bows and then runs away*
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.
Cad Buries Caramel...
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.
What do you call someone who makes bubbly chocolate?
An Aerosmith.
