Imagine…you just plunked down $XXX.98 on a sealed DECCA copy of Who’s Next — only to break the seal and discover a warped record — or worse, the LP inside the jacket is actually a Donny Osmond album.
Oh, good grief! The perils of purchasing "vintage" SS LPs…
So…offer up some stories of surprises you’ve unveiled in an SS LP — good and bad.
Here are a few recent stories of my own:

Here are a few recent stories of my own:
- Melba Montgomery / The Big, Wonderful Country World of — [CAP/ST-328 (’69)]: Inside the jacket was a giveaway 8-page booklet, "Country People Scrapbook", documenting the then-current CAP c/w roster.
- Al Hirt / Plays Bert Kaempfert — [RCA/LSP-3917 (’68)]: The LP was warped (DynaFlex version of course). I purchased another SS and actually got a Nipper (dog) label, which was what I wanted in the first place.
- Nancy Wilson / Can’t Take My Eyes off of You — [CAP/ST-429 (’69)]: The LP was pressed off-center, which made the LP unlistenable. The next SS purchase was fine.
- Sky / Sky -- [RCA/LSP-4457 ('70)]: A poster was included, but it was too large to fit inside the jacket (somebody really goofed: the poster's dimensions were the same as the LP jacket!!), so it was shrink-wrapped against the LP rear jacket.
