My Dad has a flexi of the group “Altered Images” See Those Eyes alt ver song. Alas the quality sucks. But the song is really good.

I had a set of what I remember as four Flexo records, but they were not flexible. They were exercise records, 78rpms, but they were still not flexible.

I had a square flexi record that was free inside a box of cereal when I was around 8 years old. It was a promotion for something involving Ghostbusters (???). Basically Egon talked for like 5 minutes, I remember the last thing he says is something like, “see you there”. The program repeated on the B side. I wonder if I still have it tucked away somewhere!?

A band that some of my friends were in, the Enormous Room, released their debut single on a flexidisc some time in 1985. By which time some of the shine had come off the whole “independent” record thing. It was sold – not given away – for 50p I think. The idea, or at least the PR, was that this was would open up the market for bands in the same way that the original indie movement did in the late 70s, it being relatively very cheap. It was enough – along with a fine jangly sound – to get them some good coverage in the music press at the time. Not sure whether there were any further flexis on the label; their next release was on standard vinyl.

I once saved up like 20 tokens from packets of hula hoops and got a free flexi record. This is about 12/15 years ago (maybe more – I’m getting old)…

I seem to remember its was an extremely poor disco type tune but the disc was incredibly flexible – I could see through it, roll it up, think I even managed to put a small fold in it and it still played…

Hardly a cult collectors Item I know but I throught you’d like to know.Rubbish,Rubbish tune though.

I am checking them thrice in the mind’s eye. No, I do not see an image of flexation.
