Remember: Flexidiscs

A flexi disc is a record made of a thin, flexible vinyl sheet and is designed to be playable on a normal turntable. If you are of a certain age (ahem) you'll remember that they were often given away with pop magazines in the eighties.

One magazine, cleverly called Flexipop (see what they did) celebrated the format by having one free with every edition.  The magazine ran from 1980 to 1983 but is celebrated in a book that was published in 2016. How lovely!

It's still available and you can order one by clicking here

It may be 2019 but it doesn't have to feel like it.
