Description

ONE OF THE RAREST RECORDS ON THE MARKET.  THIS WAS A PROMO ONLY RELEASE FROM FLEXIPOP MAGAZINE IN THE EARLY 1980S.  RELEASED IN OCTOBER OF 1980. MOST OF THESE SONGS ARE NOT ON CD ANYWHERE OR COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN ANY FORM.  ALL ARE SPECIAL VERSIONS OR RARE RECORDINGS THAT ARE NON ALBUM TRACKS.  HERE'S THE TRACK LIST:

From the promo sticker on the cover:  "To further the music available to you and your listeners, FLEXIPOP! has put together an album of previously unreleased songs (or different versions thereof) heretofore never available in lp from.  The album is not commercially available and is just for use on your station's turntables.  Unless you have the flexidiscs that accompany FLEXIPOP! magazine, this music will be lost to you and your listeners."

And if you have any of those old flexidiscs, you know they don't last.  The sound terrible now.  But this is high grade vinyl and so it sounds as fresh as it did in the early 1980s. 

Condition:  jacket:  EX+, vinyl EX+, really an archival copy that's been played at most 2 times since I've had it.  No ring wear or tears.  Just the single promo sticker on front.  It's been sealed in a poly bag since the beginning.

The only one I can find for sale anywhere is on Discogs.com and it lists for 92 euros (you can about double that in American dollars these days).  I can't find it on GEMM.com at all.

Fast and free shipping (insured).  Low starting bid.  Email with questions.  I'm happy to help.
