What is the weirdest recording you own?

The weirdest record I own is the OKeh Crying record. Disturbing and just plain strange.

That is strange and kinda creepy. What was this recorded for? Art? Listening pleasure? (doubt it).

Maybe even more peculiar is Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus in Iroquois.

I had no idea there was even an Iroquoian-speaking recording industry. How did that one come about? And why Mozart?

I'm guessing it was produced by some Catholic church in Canada. It's a late 78 in vinyl, nice pressing, not a home-cut disk, but it bears no maker's name. I have a companion disk that contains, among other things, a Gregorian chant. The Mozart label is below, carrying number BM-1620. The other side of the record is numbered BM-1619; the companion record labels are numbered BM-1621 and BM-1622.

This 78 is by far my strangest, its just a lady saying hello and good day over and over. I guess the intention is that the bird picks up some of what she is saying. Seems somewhat useless considering you can talk to the bird yourself.

^ Ha !

Looks a batwing Victor right underneath that record.

Haha I used to see these turn up at garage sales and thrift shops when I was a teen just starting to collect 78's.
Our family had recently acquired an Amazon parrot and when I ran across one of these records I briefly thought of getting it to play in front of the bird but decided talking to him myself was best lol

Probably the four minute home recording
of "Uncle Josh and Aunt Nancy visit Plato's Retreat", recorded in 1980 in the Ansonia Hotel.

Do you have any information about this?

This must be one of my weirdest :

I agree, so many to choose from, but I recently picked up the 78 issue of Leona Anderson's "Fish". I can certainly think of others, but this one is pretty weird.

I bought a 78 rpm copy of that record years ago because it intrigued me and the slogan made me laugh out loud. The record truly is horrible, but definitely not a "hit". I sold it long ago. Here's a photo of the flip side.
