There was also something called 'Melody Cards' that you could buy (late 50's
to early 60's), write a greeting and the address on one side and then post
to someone. The other side had a plastic lamination with a recording
pressed into it which could be played on a standard record player (at 45 RPM
IIRC).

Those floppy 45s used to turn up in magazines once in a while, as ads
or whatever. In the early PC era, computer magazines would distribute
programs on these things. You were supposed to put the floppy 45 onto
your turntable, record it onto an audio cassette, then read that into
your computer! This was the dark ages, when 8-bit computers used
standard portable audio cassette recorders as an I/O device.
