Max Steiner – The Caine Mutiny
This record was produced with a ton of author Herman Wouk’s novel by the same name being verbatim read out into microphones. When said writer discovered just how much they had lifted from his book, he became inconsolably angry, and furiously informed the studio that they would not be allowed to continue using his writing if they introduced this record into circulation. Columbia’s staff then went about razing their content, but a few sneaky members secured a few copies, one of which sold for $6,700 in 2007.
