Terrific stuff - many thanks.
According to Wikipedia, Albums like "Hard Goods" were referred to as "Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders" and were advertised in magazines.
Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders were a series of promotional sampler compilation albums released by Warner Bros. Records throughout the 1970s. Each album (usually a 2-record set) contained a wide variety of tracks by artists under contract to Warner Bros. and its subsidiary labels (primarily Reprise Records); often these were singles, B-sides, non-hit album tracks, or otherwise obscure material, all designed to arouse interest in the artists' regular albums.
