Those thin flexible, often square soundsheets called Flexi Discs startet to appear in the eary 1960ies as audio content of books or magazines or as promotional greetings sent by post. Still today, you can find them sometimes in magazines as the recent zweikommasieben Magazin or as a regular insert in Parking Lot. But there are also some labels dedicated to the Flexi Disc, like the Swiss label Flexi Disko. Smugglers Way is a compilation including 5 coulourful Flexi Discs and a 7″ magazine. The sound quality of the Flexis often is not very high and the playback is sometimes quite difficult, but it’s pretty cheap to produce. And, yeah, it’s big fun to play them…
