Buy from DIY
Presenting a split flexi disc featuring two three-piece bands: The Victorian English Gentlemens Club and The Callas. The two bands met while playing together last November in Athens, Greece, and will be reunited in both their respective capital cities, Athens and London, to celebrate the release of this joyous soundsheet creation.



The first song you will hear is 'Bag Of Meat', the title track from The Victorian English Gentlemens Club's third album, released the very same day. The second is 'The Girl And The Gun', from The Callas' new album 'Objekt'.



The disc comes complete with a three penny bit circa 1950 to be placed on the record to reduce the risk of it skipping. Manufactured in San Francisco, USA, limited to 500 copies.



Flexi discs were first developed in Russia using x-ray film for communications between anti-governmental groups as a cheap method of mass communication. They were manufactured widely in the 60s for bands and commercial advertisements, but post-80s production has almost ceased. Due to the thinness of the vinyl, the sound quality gradually deteriorates with each play.
