Imagine mastering and producing a "glass" record in 1940....Exactly what would have been added to glass in order to maintain its strength when it is formed into grooves with sub-micron surfaces? This would shave a record duster down to the leather in a wink! What on earth would you use (short of a laser) as a stylus? I say soak it in a 50/50 mixture of denatured alcohol and acetone and then scrap the aluminum core for money (maybe 80 cents worth if you can get all the dissolved goo off). Now if Franklin D. Roosevelt doesn't appeal to you, take a look at this Kate Smith recording for $50,000.00 ON A GLASS RECORD in eBay auction 180025283702. Is it possible that these folks REALLY believe their descriptions? Perhaps it is some kind of gold-fever euphoria gone haywire. I just can't (or perhaps don't want to) believe that the such things are egregious fraud in hopes of getting that spare $50,000 out of the pocket of a passer-by.
