This is what must be happening.

Besides blues he was doing Grateful Dead concert tapes. So who really needs those high ends when you are already high.......

This is really eerie, because I've often fantasized about
doing similar things.
I've always had fantasies of creating fake musical history
by distributing a homemade LP, complete with retro cover art
(distressed to simulate age), and scattering about a hundred
or so copies in the bins of local thrift stores.
I've also thought of the CD thing, but CDs just don't stand
out the way albums do - especially stores like Tower. I still
think it's a hilarious concept, but the thing would have to
be packaged and marked so that it would scan and all. That would
mean making money for corporate chains, but then again, they
wouldn't let anything out of the store if it didn't scan.
Another idea I once had was to make fake products, often
ridiculous products, and leaving them on the supermarket
shelves. Or filling old shampoo bottles with various goo,
and making labels for them with a lot of pseudoscientific
"miracle remedy" language.

No, you need the inner sleeve! In my fantasy, the inner sleeve is
one of those that shows all the other LPs on that label - also fake,
of course. I've always loved those sleeves.

Go to a coffee specialty store and look for the Italian flavoring syrups that they put into your non-whip, no-fat, double lattes with a twist of lemon. The most widely available brand is Torani. Orgeat is an actual Torani flavor. a 24oz. bottle should
run you about 8 bucks.
