This happened only once but I'll never forget the details. I bought "Cold Spring Harbor" by Billy Joel as a $1.99 cut-out at TSS (Times Square Stores) in Levittown, New York also in the 70's (probably '74-'75). I opened it up and found Lee Michaels' "Carnival Of Life" on A&M. Joel's was on Family Productions distributed by G+W. The only things both artists have in common is that they play keyboards.

Luckily, I returned it and exchanged it for another copy. The guy behind the counter said that it has happened before and opened it (a then-forbidden rule) to find the correct record inside.

I know the album is worth a lot more than $1.99 these days, but for me it's the music that matters. It ranks as one my Top 5 Billy Joel albums.
