Biz and the Jets.

Flexi-discs were probably the worst format ever. Sure, they were usually magazine freebies and invariably featured a song which was otherwise unreleased but they always either ended up creased and unplayable after about 10 minutes or lost to the wind after a few weeks when you forgot what LP sleeve or book you stored them inside.

The latter was the fate of my flexi-disc of Biz Markie's live cover of the Elton John hit Benny & The Jets, which came with the second issue of the Beastie Boys vanity rag Grand Royale magazine. I've never managed to find my copy to this day but thanks to the joys of Youtube i can now hear it again and even see the video of the actual performance itself. Take that, you fucking lost flexi-disc!
