The very few amongst you who share my obsession with Vintage Language-Learning materials might be interested in an offer on eBayUK for two sets of vinyl LPs from the 1960’s.

The first item, Basic Conversation French, contains the audio recordings which were prepared to accompany the course book Basic Conversational French, by Julian Harris and André Leveque, copies of which are still available for purchase via the websites of the major online booksellers.
The second item, Instant German, is a standalone phrase-book-style course, published by Pickwick under various titles, which uses a simple variant of the then-popular programmed learning method of self-instruction. Clearly, given the thinness of the accompanying pamphlet, these materials are not comparable to the FSI Programmatic courses of the same period.
Those of you who might be interested in pursuing the matter are invited to consult my review of these materials on PAGE 2 of the file Vintage Language Courses of Lesser Renown
How can you resist the temptation (rhetorical question only)?
EDITED:
Tinkering.
