If the flexi's would be included then I'm in.
Otherwise I'd be fine with a "standard" shirt.
I'm not that fanatical that I'll go chasing every shade of a shirt.

It's very Hawaiian sounding... Kinda weird, yet fun.

Somebody may have already posted this, but there's a sampler of the songs on Soundcloud-- https://soundcloud.com/thirdmanrecords/ ... at-sampler

I've heard a lot of chatter that the majority of these flexi's are warped.
Any reports?

I haven't played mine but, by just looking at it it seems perfect. Nice and flat.

I hope they put it out in another format. Not iTunes !!! But a seven inch

But iTunes would do.

I saw a couple people having issues on another forum. The people having issues were just putting the flexi on the turntable and trying to play it like a regular record. In short: they weren't adding a weight to hold down the flexi such as a coin. I imagine that's the main culprit.

Yeah, but I think it's just a case by case basis with these things.
I've played my "I'm Shakin'" flexi maybe half a dozen times and it's flat as can be and will play like any other normal record.
I'd be a little hesitant to play the new one if I'd have to put added weights on and all that.
With my last table?
Sure, I knocked that thing around a bit, but with a brand new table and needle I don't think I'd risk it.

I just mean placing a coin on the inside part of the flexi so it has some weight to sit flat and not move. It's still less weight then just placing a standard record on your platter.

See how this one has a little circle on it? It reads: Place Coin Here. Image

Ahh, on top of the record itself then?
People were telling to put it on top of the needle and this and that.

Yah, just right on top. Adding it to the top of the needle I guess could work in theory, but I wouldn't want to try it.

They were attached to the T-Shirt there.
