Fix - Flexi Cover Front (Short Version) - scan of real item -
Remarks
  • Recorded only on one side; there is no b-side. The recording is in mono and plays at 45 rpm.
  • The cover consists of a b/w computer print on plain paper, which does not fully enfold the flexi
to let show the vinyl colour to the outside.
  • The flexi is available in clear, blue and green vinyl; of the latter two no picture has surfaced as yet.


NOTE:

  • This flexi comes in two version with apparently the same cover and definitely the same catalogue#,
but the song lengths differ. While the shorter version fades out at around 2:00 min., the longer track
plays on until about 2:40 min. Both versions do, however, not give the song in full length.


Source

It is not known, however, whether the long or the short version was used for that item.

Comparing these pictures shows clearly the different length of the grooves: the groove on the left side is longer than the groove of the flexi on the right side.
