Dear Barbara Need,

If the disc is translucent green vinyl, it may be a Soundscriber 
disc. These were 33.3 rpm microgroove, so you should try to play it 
as if it were an LP. Pray that it hasn't warped; if it has, you may 
need to send it to someone with excellent equipment and much experience.

Sincerely, Richard
