There was a popular recording booth at the time on the Empire State Building's 86th floor observatory. When money was inserted, visitors could record their own voices onto a souvenir record. These made great keepsakes for visitors to recall their special trip to the Big Apple.
The record sleeve is all that remains of that enjoyable day, but the writing on its cover still makes me smile. "Hunker" was my grandfather's nickname; I'm not sure who comprised "the Gang."

What a fun piece of memorabilia. It brought to mind a recording my sister and her friends made in the 1960s at a local amusement park. I wonder if she still has it....
