[UPDATE] My man Pete dropped me a line to clarify the issue of there being two flexi-discs released for the contest. Essentially, they are both the same, audio wise, only Egon asks a different set of questions. Both discs are black, but while one is printed in gold (that’s the one I have) the other is printed in blue. Now I know what to look out for. Thanks Pete!
I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile now, but the big stumbling block has been that I didn’t actually have a record player. Well, that’s not the case any more, so I have a surprise.

Ralston New Ghostbusters Movie Mystery Record – Egon Version A
Back with the release of the second movie, Ralston, makers of the Ghostbusters cereal, held a contest to meet an actual Ghostbuster. To win the contests, kids would look inside their box of cereal (a number of Ralston brands besides the Ghostbusters cereal, including Cookie Crisp, were part of the contest) and find a Flexi-disc inside. The Flexi-disc contained an announcer and “Egon Spengler” (one Maurice Lamarche from The Real Ghostbusters). Over a minute was spent telling kids to see the new movie before Egon read a series of really easy questions. Kids would then send in their answers and hopefully win. There were apparently two version of the disc (Buy more cereal kids!), though I’ve never heard how it was different (perhaps another RGB voice actor?). If anyone here has heard the other disc, wants to sell me their disc, or was one of the winning kids who’d like to share the experience with the class, please drop me a line.

Thats awesome audio.
i am selling one of these ghostbusters flexi disk on ebay right now. check out my auction… ebay item # 260354470659. i found the flexi disk inside a ghostbusters movie soundtrack vinyl lp album which i am also selling.
I have the gold one, not looking to sell it. Would there be a way for me to record it and send it in so you can post it on here as well?
That announcer voice sounds familiar too.
I think the announcer is Rob Paulsen. From the original ninja turtles series
Hi!
I have the other version of the record where Egon asks 3 different Questions. It’s something along the lines of:
Question 1: What is the woman’s name who works in the art gallery
Question 2: What holiday does the big bust take place on at the of the film
Question 3: What US monument do the ghostbusters use to fight the bad guys.
It’s a trip because I jsut recently bought neew record player and tonight I went to my parents house, went up into the attic to find their old records and came across this gem. I was a ghostbustersaholic when I was a kid. It’s still in great condition and plays perfectly. Let me know if you’re intrested or maybe want the audio digitzied for your website.
