"notched" records....what's the story?


I keep ordering records from all over, and many of them are still unopened but will have a little notch or a hole cut through the album cover.

It's as if purposely done for some reason.

What's the reason?

Those were usually promotional copies sent to record dealers and stores for demo purposes. The little notch or hole cut in the cover meant to make it imperfect for sale.
