I wonder if the holding capacity of twenty Hip Pocket Records was for BOTH earring or just ONE? If the latter, can you imagine toting around forty of these things, dangling from your lobes?
A quick Google search brought up some interesting history about this bit of orphan technology. Here’s one:
Yikes. I’d probably end up with lacerations on my neck. Very kicky, though.
Ha! Brings new meaning to “cutting-edge” music. 😀
Very cool — just hope they were lightweight . . .
I know, right? We’re talkin’ music that tugs on your ears… 🙂
Groovy! Not practical, but then, when was fashion ever practical?
Music always makes a statement. 🙂
Whoa!
Girl, put your records on…
I think they’re very cute! Reminds me when I hung Christmas ornaments from my earlobes–threaded that thick hook through my ear holes and all!
Wow, fancy! I’d love to see a photo of that! But I can easily picture it in my mind’s eye… 😉
All I can think (aside from “Wow! Cool!”) is, “Wow, I bet those hurt to wear.” 🙂 Great picture!
LOL, I’m right there with you on those comments. Love the look, but then my practical side takes over… 🙂
Ow…They look about the same size as CDs. :>)
They do, don’t they? Like dangling a Walkman from your earlobes.
(Shudders to think: There are kids out there who have no idea what a Walkman was/is!)
Extremely groovy!

I can’t remember ever seeing one of these things, but then again, I didn’t really pay much attention to music back then. — PL
Cool find!
I love how you scour the internets for info, and then post it to my blog. It’s like laying down breadcrumbs for Nancy Drew to follow… 🙂
