Hilarity and Despair: American Answering Machine Tapes Volume 1

VINYL FORMAT. These answering machine tapes were found in thrift stores and yard sales all over the Southeast over the course of a seven-year period and include some very bizarre chance finds. Sebastian Speaks Records have compiled these fragments of conversation, children's pranks, bits of weary monologues, and dramas. A fascinating listen for those dismayed by the instant gratification and instant communication of the digital age.
