    Bits & bobs picked up on a recent trip to the beautiful city
    of Perth, I was pleased to find this handful of early 60's card
    flexi-discs which were given to doctors from drug companies
    as promo discs to persuade them to use their products.

    Some drugs like Nialamide offered here once used to treat
    depression are now long out of use due to unforeseen side
    effects like Hepatotoxicity.

    Diabinese is still in use today.

    Terramycin is no longer available in many countires due to side effects.

    This vinyl disc promoting high blood pressure drug Centyl came
    in a wrap around sleeve featuring the same design as the actual sleeve.

    Away from drugs and away to the Mediterranean was the
    way ahead for Jan Cunningham who boarded the SS Uganda
    in Dundee for her trip of a lifetime.

    When Jan and friends came back from their trip on the high seas
    with all that rich food she would have given this promo disc many spins.

    One of the stars of The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie
    released this cheeky red vinyl 'triple B side' single in 1978.

    The ultimate chill-out record for plants, which turns out to be mostly classical music, who knew?
