Flexible Friends

...and there was a magazine called FLEXIPOP which had a free flexi disc each issue and they managed to run for two years! Featuring the stars of the day a mixed bag of eighties music from The Jam, Bad Manners, Depeche Mode, The Selecter, The Cure, Bucks Fizz, Haircut 100 among others made it onto various coloured discs. It's contents shambolic, its approach daft. But that's exactly what the pop world of the early eighties was.
'Cheap sleaze for retards' was the magazine's catchphrase.

Flexipop's biggest selling issue featured
Adam and the ants -A.N.T.S (YMCA)
