MetalHammer free flexi-disc, Mammoth / Slave Raider

An expedition into my attic failed to retrieve what I went looking for, but I did find a stack of not-very-interesting-looking singles and out of curiosity brought them down.

Among them were a couple of gems, a metalhammer 4-track EP and this flexidisc!



Details are: Jive, free with Metal Hammer, 33.3rpm, not to be sold separately, Mammoth: Fatman / Bad Times / Slave Raider: Take the World By Storm, LYN19855, Made in Britain by Lyntone.

Will it play?? It has a couple of little knocks, let's give it a clean and find out....

[update] played beautifully, no skips just a couple of little pops that can be filtered out electronically. The sound is surprisingly good considering it's a thin cheap material. Disappointingly the Mammoth track (which is really good) is half of one song, which fades out and then half of another song. The Slave Raider track isn't so interesting but it is the whole song.
