My brother won a signed copy of that album way back when. I think it was at the same random drawing at a record store where I won the entire Beatles catalogue. I was driving to New Haven, CT to get a haircut, heard on the radio that the drawing was going to take place momentarily, raced over there (to Merles Record Rack, as I recall, at the old New Haven mall), and won. For anyone who wants to win random drawings, look for those where entries are tossed into a box, not tumbled. You want to be one of the last to submit your entry, which you fold once, loosely, in half. This allows the entry to open up and take up lots of space. Normally they pick a random person from the crowd and hold the box over their head where it's physically impossible for them to dig deep into the box. Even still, random folks tend to pick an entry on the top. Let me know if you now win anything with this method! - Jeff
