I had been meaning to do a video of this soundtrack for a long while, it is basically a "disposable" flexible 45rpm record produced to promote the English Electric Liberator 4027 washing machine of 1965/66.
Apologies for the sound quality, but the record is around 50 years old. I believe this machine to be a development of the Westinghouse Spacemate models - EE introduced a washing machine in 1960 based on the Westinghouse design. In 1967 they produced the all new Reversomat series, which was again based on Westinghouse washers from the mid 1960s. I hope you enjoy it Al CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK |

Very interesting, thank you for posting. I saw this video a while back and it seemed very similar. I was under the impression these machines spun around 700rpm but don't quote me on that.

This was fun to see the English version of Westinghouse's first more compact automatic washer.
These came out in 1955 in the US and the stackable Space-Mate versions came out in 1957 and were built and sold here through 1963 at which WH redesigned the SMs and their larger Slant-Front models to all be 27" wide.
Al keep us posted about these cool washers. |
