    a flexi vinyl is usually a promotional audio recording that would typically be included in a magazine or other type of media...they were invented in the early 60's? and were pretty common before the advent of the CD...all of the flexi discs you see on Ebay are 100% unofficial and not worth a dime.....

    What makes them worthless? I've heard of flexi discs and some of the gripes but are they that unusable?

    because the flexi discs are horrible, hoorible look horrible sound and not part of any official release of the band.

    I mean that in regards to them not being an official PJ release...and I mean worthless as a collectible...also, the sound quality is beyond sub-par...ever listened to one? They're like 1 mm thick dude..... :?

    i was wrong - not the big mac song, it was the McD's menu song, for a chance to win a Million $ - 1989

    this is it:

    Ah the years. I'm surprised they didn't reprise it 2010 style yet. So much new items on their menu now. I could really go for that million buck's right about now.

    I first heard The Doors on a flexi. I was 4 or 5 and it was on my Shaun Cassady suitcase turntable.
    I wish I were the verb "to trust" and never let you down
