From Pirates Press most recent newsletter:
After years of development, scrapped ideas, and disappointment… the time has finally arrived!!
PIRATES PRESS HAS BEGUN TO MAKE FLEXIDISCS!
While we are not yet taking orders from the public, we will be soon!! Stay subscribed to this newsletter for important ordering and product information over the next few weeks!
I’m curious to see your thoughts. Labels, will you be ordering flexi-discs? Vinyl Collectors, will you be buying them? I have a few in my collection, most notably one from Lookout Records that came bundled in an early issue of Punk Planet. I think I might also have the Nobodys/Falling Sickness split as a Flexi-disc. What Flexi-discs do you have in your collection?
I think that if a Flexi-disc is affordable enough, man, it would be great to see them in future issues of Razorcake. Hey Todd, let’s make the first flexi-disc for Razorcake a 4 way split between Tiltwheel, TimVersion, Cheap Girls, and Two Cow Garage!!!

I think they are great if you are making a fanzine and want to give away a record with that. Or if you have a format that requires any kind of flexibility (cans, bottles etc). But I would not release a flexi disc in an ordinary jacket. No point.
