Homemade Recordio Disc. Black playing surface with a lot of scuffs and marks. Some small bubbling and one small piece of the outer run in groove is missing. There is a wavy bump of about two inches on the outside of the disc that does affect play.

Side B: [blank]

Side A are both recordings of released music. First is Ernie Ford's Smokey Mountain Boogie and second is Hank Thompson's What Are We Gonna Do About The Moonlight. Both sound as if they are from the radio but are the mass released 78 versions of the songs, not unique.

Side B starts with someone singing the children's song Three Little Fishies to a crowd, presumably on the radio. Then a cut to Art Lund's version of If I Could Be With You from a radio broadcast.
