My grandmother just recieved a package posted from USA dated 3/1/48 ?

Question

It`s a vinyl recording of Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas"

is this a record. ?

Answer 1

ok, but what was the postage on the package?  were the stamps recent?  maybe someone cleverly dated the package (because it's an old record), or made a mistake on the date?

Answer 2

Why do you never see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Answer 3

WOW Amazing!

I would imagine arecord!!!

Colin I think you are missing the point!

Answer 4

A recording back then was called a record.

So yes it is.

Seiously I tried googling the longest time it has taken for a package to be delivered.

I found no answers. So maybe you can call the guiness book of world records and ask.

Answer 5

Good joke!  Yes it is a record, but if it is really vinyl, it is not an original. They didn't have vinyl in 1948.

Answer 6
