Many flexi discs were produced by the allegedly Russian label BudKon.

Before 1989, very few records were allowed into Soviet Russia, so there was quite a demand on the black market.
And for a few short years, this label produced thousands of flexis from ABBA to Madonna, The Stranglers, Frank Zappa,
and of course - The Sisters of Mercy.

These records are low quality recordings, and low quality pressings, and materially are worth next to nothing to an avid collector,
though, very few of the same song were ever made, and for a completist collector of Sisters bootlegs, they are treasures.

If you want to know more about the phenomenon of flexi discs in general, please check this article at Wikipedia...

Anyway, not all flexi discs containing Sisters material have been coming from Russia.
More recently, some apparent repressing have surfaced more or less regularly from Poland.
Some Polish Art Postcard Flexis are known to exist as well.

This is a list of all the The Sisters of Mercy Flexis found so far:
