[Notes]
This is a comic demonstration of "hi fidelytie" that claims to be "the record to end all high fidelitie records." The liner notes continue, "In fact, it is questionable as to whether it might not be the last hi fidelyty record. In many cases the user will find it impossible to play,— but no matter; that is not necessarily unusual for hi fidelity." But unusual this is: the collection of sounds on this record range from jets and steam trains to a baby's wailing to Mexican firecrackers and a highly distorted church organ.
