Flexipop was an 80s UK-based music magazine that included a coloured flexi-disc in most of its issues. “Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead” came with the 11th issue, along with “King Of The Flies” by Fad Gadget. A somewhat modified version of the song, titled “I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead”, is featured on the original UK release of the band’s debut album, “Speak & Spell”, released about three weeks after the appearance of this flexi-disc.
