I remember looking at the Sticky Fingers album - it had a working zipper - when I was nine, and when I asked my 15 y.o. sister what the name meant she yelled at me & told me to get out of her room.

Yep, momma did not think that was funny. At all.
Always loved this one and recreated it with my then-gf during the Presidents Day weekend blizzard of ‘03. Jones St near West 4th.

Buying an album used to be such an amazing experience. Are there liner notes? What’s the inside art work? Did they include a sheet with your dates? Merch listing so you can send them a money order & wait three months for a tee shirt? Is it a double album or at least have a flip cover so you can clean the stems & seeds from your pot?

I remember having Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies Album with the gatefold wallet and of course a billion dollar note folded in the middle.

Ten seconds, Bob...
Five seconds, Bob...

eta* Just to clarify, that's a skit off of the album and not Mister CIA's real name.

I'm going to have to go with GSYBE F# A#, complete with all the extras in the early editions.
"The album was recorded May 1997 at the Hotel2Tango on a 16-track recorder. This initial run was limited to 500 numbered copies. The band name, album title, and image frame are debossed on the front cover. The handmade jacket is a deep purple cardstock. One of three glossy darkroom prints is glued onto the cover, whereas reissues use offset prints. The back cover includes a hand-drawn cross, catalog number, copy number (e.g. 297/500), and a stamped Constellation Records logo all in silver ink. A manila envelope with an acetone transfer on it is included. The envelope contains a Canadian penny flattened by a train, blueprint ("Faulty Schematics of Ruined Machine"), credit sheet, concert bill, and a card with purchasing information. Additionally, a silkscreen print of a locomotive with "For the Reverend Gary Davis" on the side is included. The vinyl label itself lacks any indication of what is on it, with the track titles and catalog number instead etched into the runout. The clear outer jacket sleeve has a sticker on it which reads "godspeed you black emperor! f#a#∞" in blue ink."
I had been collecting vinyl for over 15 years before finally finding one of the first numbered editions. It was one of the white whales of my collection.

I was a record store kid. Would go all the time and just flip through the bins looking for stuff that looked or sounded interesting. Always loved opening the plastic seal and getting a look inside (if it was a double).
When floppinho sang backup on the parquet Courts last one (wide awake), they give him and other kids the LP, which included their names in liner notes. I loved stuff like that as a kid- would read all the liner notes, band lineups, everything.

...me too - that's where I learned all their influences, contemporaries, tour mates, etc.

Motörhead had a double album called No Remorse. I could only afford the regular cardboard cover, but I for one great moment held one of the 1000 limited initial pressing when they were both in the record store. This edition featured a genuine leather cover, keeping with the wallet designs already posted.

Nah, man. Anything with any cool packaging is cool. I used "record" instead of "album." My mistake.
So that Misfits Box Set casket you've been dying to include is still on.
