mmd040 Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Can't help I'm afraid but at least your post has reminded me to haul out my most prized Jot Division, Komakino flexi disc and give it a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmd040 Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Jot Division were often, quite righly, confused with Joy division at the time by absent minded typists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last one I came across came as part of a double issue of Profane Existence in 1997. But hey, that sounds pretty cool. Not that I could play it. Have only a CD player.

kirkt Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 i was listening to the suede/manic street preachers ones my dad has...sound is bit crackly durin quiet bits but you cant notice it the rest of the time. sounded fine. i think as long as you keep it in good condition (and not fold it in half without a sleeve) then it'll be cool. if anyone knows of any labels that have released a flexidisc recently, please could you let me know and ill try contact them to find out where they got them pressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Haven't seen one in a while, but there were a lot of them on the go in the mid to late 80's. A lot of Japanese bands at the time released them, also Heresy and Ripcord debuted on a flexi. Active Minds released one in 1991, I think, but I don't know of any others since then. It was a format invented by Jonathan King............................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Kirk, you wouldn't know of anywhere that would press 50-100 cd's cheaply, do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 impossible - would probably be cheaper to press 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
