Listen With Playbirds?

momsboy62 · July 18th, 2008, 11:08 AM

Following a thread elsewhere re erotic audio.

Does anyone remember these?

Playbirds with a flexi disc. Circa '75.

IIRC they had a 33rpm EP flexi inside and a voucher for an LP . Just what was on them? I presumed it was heavy breathing type stuff or MM relating dirty stories but never found out as the newsagents in which I had a Saturday job kept them under lock and key which made them difficult to steal. Which has only added to my intrigue over the years.

Or if anyone actually has one and can rip and upload it, that would be super, smashing, lovely.

Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search but couldn't find 'owt.

If you check out this website there's a small extract from one of the Mary Millington flexidiscs playing behind the muzak - maybe enough to give you an idea....

Trunk Records put out a CD of vintage flexi-discs ( in their unedited form ) from 70s UK porn mags called 'Flexi Sex'. Its great.

Great tip minister, I had a look on their website: http://www.trunkrecords.com/turntable/flexi_sex.shtml

And the sales page has m3u previews (scroll down). http://trunkrecords.greedbag.com/buy/flexi-sex-0/

My favourite was Rosie & Nobby.

Irish Anabel was just plain scary!

I grabbed them as .mp3s and can upload them for anyone that wants them but doesn't know how to snatch them.

Sadly I don't think it's worth even the trifling sum of £6.75 but at least I now know what my ITT Music Centre was missing out on all those years ago.

Thanks again for your help.

LOL! I found the whole Irish Anabel track on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38KO5zOf_0M

What's a "wonk"?

I will up the whole album tomorrow if desired?!

Not on my account, my curiosity's now been satisfied, though I'm sure there are other here that would enjoy them for old time's sake.

Andrea True's More, More, More... was a million times more erotic...and you could dance to it too!

Get the cameras rollin'
Get the action goin'...

I was foolish enough to invest in a cassette tape from the Private Shop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the late 70s which seemed to be a similarly "so what" experience.

What is it about audio (or aural) sex that it always turns out to be such a ripoff ?

"You're through to 0898 FEEL MY MELONS, ohhh yess, thats it, you like melons don't you. Why don't you squeeze them and feel how ripe they are......"

Sadly, even his live premium rate phone line wasn't enough to save Mr Patel the greengrocer's business and he shut up shop not long afterwards - another victim of Tesco's out of town superstore.

"Flexisex" is very time and place specific... I must confess I enjoyed it, although it definitely has more comedy value than erotic. My question is, has anybody uploaded any of the Playbird flexis, or the cassette tapes mentioned by Andysmz above? The ads in period magazines are so intriguing!
