M0NA LING - HOW TO GET APPOINTMENTS BY TELEPH0NE (c.1960)

Speaking of collections, we've been interjecting these short lessons in  "professional telephone use" into some of our playlists to enduring amusement. (We date the album based on the red Western Electric / Bell Model 500 pictured, its ABS plastics, G1 headset and clear fingerwheel).

Ms. Ling's album, produced by the Success Motivation Institute, Inc., must have been written by her--it is narrated by some uncredited man. One track, "How to Write a Telephone Presentation" can almost be seen as a bizarre precursor example to McLuhan's media theories, if not also Kittler or Derrida. 

Brrrring brrrrrrrring...
