For the info of Don & others, Rockby Electronics flogs a little phono -> USB converter which looks like it would do a reasonable job, see

The price is $182 today but occasionally they put them on special for about $80.

Only if you care about sound quality, noise and distortion, something the OP said he doesn't. (and obviously doesn't given what he bought) No need to worry about incorrect playback EQ in such cases either, you'll still get identifiable sound of some sort.

Or simply buy a Behringer UCA-202 and PP-400, for the same (lower) price any day of the year. Even less if you get a discount.

For God's sake buy a CD of it ! It will most likely have been properly transcribed.

Like the sound on Pathe newsreels.
