SCP-071-DE in the paper sleeve; back side
Item #: SCP-071-DE
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-071-DE is being kept within a locker specially set up for it in Site-DE10. The key for the locker is owned by Dr. Hellber. If SCP-071-DE is stolen, it must be re-contained as soon as possible to prevent the transfer of recordings. In case such a recording is found on the internet, its spread is to inhibited by all means.
All auditory recordings of SCP-071-DE are being saved on the internal secure server S/155. In case of an unauthorized third-party access to the files and/or the /071-DE directory, an automated protocol (071-DE-P55) is being executed, deleting the files. If the files are stolen or copied, the MTF unit DE1-ℌ ("HAL 1000") must be ordered to task KIRA (KI) with investigating the theft of files and detecting the culprit, and to delete files if possible.
Description: SCP-071-DE describes a vinyl record measuring 25 cm x 25 cm. The record is placed within a paper sleeve with the inscriptions and logo of a Soviet record company with the designation "Мелодия" ("Melody") on the front. The vintage is unknown, but it has been confirmed to be an original from Soviet times. The paper sleeve has suffered visible, external damages throughout the years. The label of the record has a pink color that the black description is written on. The descriptions on the label also feature the name and the logo of the company, accompanied by the corresponding names of the musical pieces. Franz Schubert's classic among others, which makes up the majority of the music.

Hey!
What's up?
Several hand-written words are visible on the back. They were written via ink during Soviet times, according to analyzes. The language could be clearly identified as Russian. The inscription reads ""Дорогому █████ ████ от ███████ на долгую память", which translates to "To dear █████ ████ by ███████ for a long memorial". Below this sentence is an inscription reading "Минск 72120, апрель ", translated "Minsk 72120 April". The record was thus determined to have been present in the city of Minsk, Belarus at one point in April and was most likely given by one person to another. What the numbers mean could not be ascertained so far.
Looks interesting, I wonder what's inside?
Because I'm actually seeing an interesting connection to a server and register with files here.
Lemme see…

Listening to SCP-071-DE recordings of SCP-049-DE has shown to cause certain psychic effects after playing and hearing the recording. The effect occurs in a time period of around 10 s to 2 min and causes both visual and auditory hallucinations, confusion and delusions.
Now look at that, you're no spoilsport after all?
Oh besides, I found another one.

Additionally, it w̴a̶s̵ ̴c̵o̴n̷f̴i̵r̸m̸e̵d̷ that repeated listening to recordings amplifies the effect. T̵̼̉h̸̪͛e̵̲̾ maximum limit is around 6 mins; once this limit has been exceeded, there no way to suppress the effect. But if the limit w̷̡̉a̷̢̾s̶̨͂ not exceeded, the effect slowly subsides in most c̸a̷s̸e̷s̴1, which can vary among different subjects and occur faster or slower. Moreover, the e̴f̵f̵e̴c̸t̴ can be caused to subsiside quicker by sedating the subject or administering tranqulizers to the s̶͚̩̀̓ǔ̸̮̔b̷̳̌͝ͅj̷͇̏́ḙ̷̾͘c̸͍̉t̴̤͗̑2.
Are you still standing over there? :D
Another one? Shall we continue?
Come on, one more!
Show me how you fall to the ground! <3

Subjects who are permanently exposed to this music were also found3,
to develop a kind of addiction to records4. The infested subjects want to listen to more and more of the music. This only occurs if the maximum limit is exceeded and the music is listened to repeatedly over extended periods of time, after this has happened and the subject has developed the "SCP-071-DE addiction", attempts to access a SCP-071-DE recording are made by any means necessary, which will only worsen the effect5. Therefore, it should be noted that experiments involving SCP-071-DE recordings where the subject is exposed to the music for a longer time may only be conducted with at least 2 members of security staff.
It was discerned that the Foundation spreads lies and that everything written in here is untrue. I see things, which could mean that SCP-071-DE should be returned.
THIRD-PARTY ACCESS TO SECURE SERVER S/I55 REGISTERED. PROTOCOL 071-DE-P55 WILL BE INITIATED. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR LOCATION AND PLEASE WAIT FOR FOUNDATION PERSONNEL.
Oh oh, the killjoys have taken note.
But don't worry, I had fun, I will leave a .txt file about you in the SCP-071-DE entry. ;-*
Classic's not my thing. ;)
D̷̖̐ǐ̶̦s̴̱̕c̵̥͝o̸̡͒v̶̘̊e̴͕̓r̸̻̆ÿ̷̹́: SCP-071-DE was d̴i̵s̶c̶o̷v̴e̸r̵e̸d̵ after a female member of the Caecus Carneliana-C̵͎̉ǒ̸̦l̴̩̎l̶͈̄e̸̜̚c̵̗͑t̴̰͆i̴̤͛v̴̠̀ę̴̾ was located and could be tracked by the MTF unit DE2-𝕴 ("Light Chain"). According to video recordings, this member is responsible for the extermination of the personnel within Site-DE12. The subject carried a brown suitcase with them, but video analyzes later revealed that said suitcase was in fact a mobile record player. The subject fled the scene, but left SCP-071-DE behind. Although the s̶u̸b̶j̷e̶c̶t̴ managed to escape, SCP-071-DE was recovered safely and transported to the n̵̞̫̍̍͐ȩ̶̙̮͒̚a̷͓̯̥͛r̴͙̼̪͝ë̴̖̮́͋s̷͎̝̑̎̆ť̴̩ site.
