The Internet Museum of Flexi / Cardboard / Oddity Records

"Once bound by cereal boxes, held in the pages of a magazine, wrapped up in envelopes sent through our postal system or given away casually with some product, these bits of paper and plastic yearned to be set free to fulfill their destiny as... PLAYABLE RECORDS. Come and take an aural and visual journey through a partial history of these strange but true recorded anomolies."

We once owned the Mad one (there was at least one cardboard disc put out in the 80s), and we can tell you these things sound exactly like a phonograph needle being scraped across lightly laminated cardboard. Barbara Walter's spine makes fewer popping noises when she farts. Still, a fun novelty.
