From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Polish cardboard records
A cardboard record, commonly referred to as the sound postcard (Polish: pocztówka dźwiękowa) in Poland, is a type of cheaply made phonographic record made of plastic-coated thin paperboard that was particularly popular in Poland between the 1960s and 1970s, but also in other regions. These discs were usually small, had poor audio quality compared to vinyl or acetate discs, and were often only marginally playable due to their light weight, slick surface, and tendency to warp like a taco shell. Playability could be improved by placing a coin between the lock groove and the spindle hole to add weight and stability. These records are distinct from both flexi discs, which are sturdier, and from many of the old home-recording discs since cardboard discs were mass-produced for a specific purpose.
