How often do these turn up still attached?

    It's certainly not easy to come by completely attached. The reason for this is the weak, cheapish textured paper Curtom used for the jacket and the large-gapped perforation that was right on the seam. Hell, even opening the reverse Unipak-like gatefold too hard could cause the calendar to come right off. I'm betting that not all original owners of this LP were purposeful in their pinning-up of Mr. Chicago Soul 1972 (& January 73).

    I found a notch-cut copy with all but about an inch attached. That perforated edge justs wears down over time, and is bound to start to come undone.

    It's really nothing special anyways, don't sweat it.

    I totally disagree.

    But I live in Chicago, so take that with a grain of salt.

    I was excited to find a copy last week with the calendar perfectly attached.

    If someone printed up a calendar with the same design for 2008 I would buy one in a heartbeat.

    I think that calendar is awesome. If I had one I'd have it hanging up. Alas, I am calendarless.

    i am 2 for 5, but one of the two had been reinforced with clear tape. the calendar ones i bagged and shelved with loving care, but i still have 2 calendarless copies kicking around somewhere for all those crazy house parties that i never seem to throw.
