at a local record store 25 years ago someone had modified reo speedwagon's divider label into "oreo speedcookie" in the vinyl bins. i thought it was just some clerk being snarky... THEY WERE REAL!

I remember Salem Witchcraft from the 70's. (They were a Harpo's mainstay.) They ultimately shortened their name to Salem.
