I found this (just the .jpg of the cover sadly, not the actual record) somewhere or other on the internet years ago, and since then the multitude of questions it raises have never ceased to be an inspiration, reinforcing my faith in the bewildering mysteries of human creation at every turn.
What could conceivably be the point of making an LP of morse code, when it's broadcast would presumably require the kind of direct playback equipment that would render morse code obsolete?
Why, assuming you WERE going to make some LPs of morse code, would you choose to render the life story of Nikola Tesla, of all godforsaken things, in dots and dashes?
I would guess that it would be difficult to fit that MUCH morse code on to a 30-40 minute LP... it must be quite an abbreviated life story they're working with here, surely?
And most importantly, did Tesla really so closely resemble a young Christopher Lee at any point?
I'm sure a brief session of googling could help shed light on all of those issues, but.... I'm happier not knowing.
