World-wide Brain Assist

I was reading a thread in the Record Collector's Guild forum the other day, and an image flashed in my head of a unique record accessory I had when I was 4 or 5 years old. In brief, you put the record on the turntable, then stick this multi-faceted mirror box on the record and then watch an animated cartoon character perform some antics. That's all the detail I could recall.

So I posted a question to the forum thinking that someone else might have come across something like this in their travels. Well, about 10 minutes later, a member posted a link to a site that had all the information I was looking for - and more.

From the homepage of the Internet Museum of Flexi / Cardboard / Oddity Records:

"Once bound by cereal boxes, held in the pages of a magazine, wrapped up in envelopes sent through our postal system or given away casually with some product, these bits of paper and plastic yearned to be set free to fulfill their destiny as... PLAYABLE RECORDS. Come and take an aural and visual journey through a partial history of these strange but true recorded anomolies."
