In 1983, an enterprising inventor came up with Mister Disc, the “personal portable phono system.” Considering that I, a major audio geek, had never heard of Mister Disc until 2006, I can only assume that it never caught on with the public. That’s not hard to understand. After all, who wanted to haul an armload of LPs or 45s with them wherever they went?

Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy learning about this short-lived piece of audio history.
