Record Type: concept
flexi discs (phonograph records, sound recordings, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Phonograph records that are made from flexible materials, usually vinyl sheets, though variations have been paper-backed. The most well-known version was introduced commercially in the US in 1962 as the Eva-Tone Soundsheet, in Europe as Lyntone Recordings. Flexible records using materials other than vinyl predating Soundsheets include Marconi Velvet Tone records of 1906, made of a paper-based core laminated between two sheets of celluloid, the Hit Of The Week label in the US, and the Durium label in the UK, which made flexible records with a cardboard backing. From the 1950s in the Soviet Union, discarded X-ray film was used to engrave recordings to distribute music outside official channels. Vinyl flexi discs were used to bind sound recordings within printed publications. From 1980 to 1982, Flexipop! magazine in the UK included colored flexi discs with each issue. Versions of the flexi disc concept have been included as elements of product packaging such as cereal boxes.
