Gee, I wonder who might be trying to palm off, er. sell this one!  The 
1931 recording mentioned below appeared in many forms, often with 
picture labels.  My copy is on opaque white flexo plastic with glued on 
paper picture labels.   It is a recording made on the opening broadcast 
of Vatican Radio.  I understand Marconi also spoke.

As for Freud, perhaps this recording is scitzo.
