From the Wayback Machine comes Warner Brothers now infamous
"Loss Leaders" collection of various artists albums from 1969 to 1980, ranging from psych rock to early prog to funk and everything else you can through together. Some featured obscure artists at the time and others were main line hit makers. I used to get them for $2 as a member of the WB record club. Check them out on Discogs if, for nothing else, the crazy line-ups and songs that they contained. Here was one of my favorites from 1970, a 3 vinyl box set that I wish I still had just for the curiosity aspect:
