I had one, in a "Bloom County" cartoon book[1]. It was a flexible black record the thickness of a thick sheet of paper. It even had a spot to place a coin because the black plastic was thin and slippery. It played pretty well though and had two sides.
Someone is selling one on amazon with a decent image.
edit: see the comment with the art article about "Flexi-disc"

As an interesting aside in the "alternative record formats", when as a child I had the "mickey ghost chasers" book. It came with a little hand held box, which you'd put over mini "records" imbeded in the books[2]. You 'd hit a button and it would play audio. The underside was like a weird mini-upsidedown record player

- kalleboo 8y agoI wonder if that Fisher-Price player is related at all to the Panapic which seems similar https://youtu.be/quF45LvBtwA https://youtu.be/quF45LvBtwA
- acomjean 8y agoWow, it seems very much similar. They way you line up the player. Even the underside stylus and the poor quality audio.
