Flexipop Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flexipop Magazine was famous for creating the re-emergence of the flexible music disc in the UK during the 80s. Launched in 1980 by ex-Record Mirror journalists Barry Cain and Tim Lott, the magazine featured a flexidisc in each issue. The magazine lasted for two years. One of the most notable issues was the February 1981 disc featuring Adam And The Ants performing a version of the Village People hit YMCA, called A.N.T.S[1].
The magazine has maintained a memorable reputation among music collectors because of the flexidisc, and the revival of interest in 80s pop.
Huw Collingbourne, a contributing writer to Flexipop, gave an interview to Stylus Magazine about the publication in which he said[2], "Other music mags may have dabbled in flexis, but Flexipop! made a career of it. "We had singles by the top bands of the day—everyone from The Jam to Depeche Mode. A really good flexi would make the magazine fly off the newsstands."
