There are many albums with "locked grooves" - there are several in the KFJC library with 500 and 1000 separate grooves on each side. They are not OKOM !
=================================
That reminded me (what a pest)
I have boxes of seven inch Langworth transcriptions
plus a hundred 16" transcriptions. All of them spin at Lp speed.
Some have four, five, six, or seven tracks. The tone arm must
be lifted and placed on the next track to hear it.

The content varies widely from Jack Shaindlin,
who scored the music for the March Of Time to
Gospel Vocal Quartets, interviews (the responses - comes with a script), 
weather reports, full radio broadcasts, on and on and on.
For example:
General Sound - Brinkerhoff GE FM Radio Programs 
These are non-commercial recordings.
featuring Hazel Scott and The Golden Gate Quartet
They are promos introducing the new wonder of radio, FM. 
Golden Gates - Get Along Little Doggie, Hazel Scott - Turkish March, Golden Gates - Darling Nellie Grey, Hazel Scott - Ciribiribin, Golden Gates - De Old Ark Am Moving Along, Hazel Scott - Brahm's Hungarian Dance, Golden Gates - Angel Gabriel, Hazel Scott - Schubert's Serenade.
