Private Eye, the British fortnightly satirical magazine, has produced various comedic audio recordings since its founding in 1961. The most famous of the recordings from the 1960s and 1970s were pressed on thin floppy 7" vinyl (sometimes known as "flexi-discs" or "flimsies") [1] [2] and they were distributed as "cover-mounts" attached to the front cover of the magazine, which for those issues doubled its price to cover the costs of the recordings.
