I think this is magical, and all the more so for the fact that the recording was made but with no way of playing it back until now.... so it feels like it was recorded as a message to the future.

All of which reminds me of something I got in a box of Ready Brek when I was quite a young child - no more than six years old. It was a thin plastic strip, probably about 12 inches long and no more than a centimetre wide (you can see how my age means I continue to mix up imperial and metric!). The strip had little ridges along its length, and, when it was pulled through a slot cut in the side of the cereal box, the ridges created vibration, which carried the voice of Churchill saying 'We Shall Fight Them on the Beaches.' I really wish I still had it, as I have never come across anything similar since.
