Episode description

It was a publishing phenomenon. Launched in 1980 by Barry and Tim Lott, every issue came with a flexible music disc. Flexipop was an overnight success rapidly reaching sales of more than 100,000... but it only lasted for 27 issues before it folded in 1983. Why?
Get out your flares and big hair extensions... tonight, we’re gonna party like it’s 1980!
