Flex-Able Leftovers is a limited edition 10" vinyl EP by American composer and guitarist, Steve Vai. It was leftover material from the recordings done during the Flex-Able days (1982 to 1984) and originally released in 1984 (see 1984 in music). In this regard, it can be perceived as a supplement to the initial release of "Flex-Able".[1] As in the case of the main album, "Flex-Able Leftovers" boast of a Zappa-based stylistic and musical influence.
There were only two EP editions in 1984:
- The first issue (limited to 1,000 copies) on Urantia Records.
- The second issue, with a different cover artwork/design (limited to 1,000 copies) on Akashic Records.
Subsequently, the EP was re-released as a studio album with more tracks in November 1998.[2]
