Remember those free records...

Dude111

...that came in magazines? Those thin square things you had to rip out?

I used to get several of those plastic little 45's!! (They played quite well) I think i remember getting 5 or 6 anyway!


Ahhhhhh... Whatever happend to the good days we remember and long for??

I had a flexi-disc that came free with issue 1 of Oink Comic that had
a song on each side of it.

Also had a few Planet of the apes graphic novel/comic type magazines
that came with a 45 side record with the Audio story on it.
Got them at the time from Dunnes stores had a feeling they were old
things that were sold before the days of stories with tapes.
(Before the Days of Auntie Poppy etc)

The only other time I remember getting a flexi disc was with some music
magazine with the Manic Street Preachers on it.

I still have a sonic youth teenage riot one somewhere. Some mags also gave free vinyl records too such as NME which did 4 song EP compilations of some rare live/demo tracks.

Mad jesty

I still have an A-ha (sun always shines on tv) plastic record I got from Smash Hits 100 years ago. I had that one from oink magazine too but its long lost.

I had a golden flexi-disc which was a preview disc for a country music collection from Reader's Digest introduced by George Hamilton III. There was one for a classical music set introduced by Anthony Hopkins and one for a rock music set introduced by Brian Matthew, all lovingly jumbled together by Reader's Digest in the 70s.

I remember getting the Sabbat flexidisc with an issue of White Dwarf magazine back in the late 80's (before the magazine became a catalogue for Citadel minitures). Those flexi-discs never sounded that well though.

Still have the Peter and the Wolf 45 flexdisc which came with Ribena in the 70's lying around somewhere.
