I've been digging in The Kingdom of Fife (across the sea from me) for vinyl treasures in the past few weeks, I managed to turn up some unusual finds including acetates, weird Xian Folk and self help albums, along with a few flexi-discs including these half dozen.
It's always nice when I find ones I've not seen or heard of before and especially ones like this one sided card disc which features a song recorded for a toy doll by Paul Revere & The Raiders issued in 1968.
Roger Cook & Roger Greenaway were song masters in the 60's & 70's and this is one they did for an advert which came in a bird n' booze picture sleeve.
Also on a drink tip is this card backed disc promoting cognac, too strong for me I'm a red wine chap, hic.
Fancy one sided promo disc featuring a colour chart of Robbialac Paint and a comedy sketch by Punch Magazine satirist Basil Boothroyd on the record side, released in 1967.
Pushing it a bit to call it an album perhaps but this Sounds mag freebie does feature 5 tracks.
Promotional competition disc with the opportunity to win a car or a scooter, given away at car showrooms in the early 60's.
Late 60's flexi featuring music by Jack Shaindlin and a narrated story about the whaling ship the George W. Morgan.
