Dial A Disc
Dial-a-Disc was a telephone service provided by the Post Office for 25 years, from 1966 until 1991.
It enabled callers to hear the latest hit records - it could be seen as the first iteration of on-demand music streaming.
How did it work?
After dialling either 16 or 160, you would be connected to the audio coming from an 'EA9' (Equipment Announcer) tape machine. They were capable of playing 4 minutes worth of tape and played on an endless loop.
