I happen to have the _Philadelphia Computer Music Festival_ record which
contains the selection 'Synthesized computer speech demonstration (1963)
- Bell Labs - D.H. Van Lenten 2:20'

>From the record blurb:
	"To produce synthesized speech, the computer continously produces
nine control signals such as voice pitch, loudness, lip sounds (22 consonant
and 12 vowel sounds).  This historic recording was made by Van Lenten in 1962
as part of a series of experiments at Bell Laboratories to understand the
nature of speech and hearing.  It is even more remarkable considering that
each of the nine controls for each phonetic sound was individually keypunched
on a card and processed by a two part program to produce a magnetic tape.
This was then converted by a second program into an audio tape."
