Flexipop magazine was famous for the re-emergence of the flexible music disc in the UK during the 1980s. 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 "Y.M.C.A.", called "A.N.T.S.".The magazine has maintained a memorable reputation among music collectors because of the flexidisc and the revival of interest in 1980s pop.
Huw Collingbourne, a contributing writer to Flexipop, gave an interview to Stylus magazine about the publication in which he said, "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."
In 1981 Flexipop Magazine Issue Number 12 came with the free flexi disc that had 2 tracks on it.
The first track was by Soft Cell entitled .Metro MRX'. The second track was by B-Movie entitled 'Remembrance Day'.
