Description from their archives:

Publisher: Data Age

Scarcity: 7

$25 (L)oose or (C)omplete: L

Description: A seriously psychedelic videogame record that was available through Data Age. Plugging their products with hammy actors and actresses, you might get an idea of what the games were about, but certainly not their poor quality. Classic line from this record: "The hatch key....got...to...find...the hatch key". Collector's: don't go looking in the 45 RPM section for this one - it's on a flexi-disc with cardboard backing, like the kinds you used to get in cereal boxes in the 70's.

That is an interesting find, I remember getting one of those types of records at Hardees (iirc) around the time Ghostbusters 2 was in theaters (the flexidisc was of course Ghostbusters 2 related). It didn't have the cardboard backing and was a lot more.. ehm.. "flexi" as a result. I think I still have it in some ancient box long stored away but it's probably bent. I always wondered what those discs/records were supposed to be called though.

Lol kinda reminds me of those Halloween tapes I'd play for the trick-or-treaters.
