When I was in my mid-teens, the main library started to sell their least borrowed vinyl albums for like $1 each since cd's were taking over. They sold Subotnick's '71 "Sidewinder"-LP and I bought it just because it looked cool. It was pretty damn close to being near mint which is VERY rare when it comes to records in libraries-I suspect noone had ever borrowed it. Unfortunately, it's not worth anything I guess since there is this big Gothenburg Library plastic shit stamped on the cover which I of course had to rip off and it became ruined in the process, oh well...

Anyway, really cool stuff IMO even if I suspect many people would just call it noise and I just love the sounds those old synths have. There are pictures of the synths on the cover and it looks like a factory or something-they are SO big! That album is recommended...
