These were called Evatone Soundsheets back in the day. I have the original demo kit that Evatone
handed out at an AES meeting. It included a political promo speech by then governor Ronald Reagan,
some various marketing records and a couple of generic pop tunes. Time-Life used these things
widely, inserting them in magazines to sell such subscription series as "The Symphony," and "Legends
of Jazz". There were also Evatone Soundsheets bound into World Book's Science Year annual. I have
one about dog communications and one with whale or dolphin sound recordings. My cousin's high school
chior put out a Christmas album on an Evatone Soundsheet. There was also one inserted in Audio
Magazine to put sound to their 2-part series about the history of recorded sound.

The Deerhoof book/soundsheet idea is fascinating. I wonder how feasible it would be today to have a
book with bluetooth connectivity and an accompanying app for smartphones. When the page turned,
different audio would play on the phone via bluetooth.
