Cut-out (recording industry)

In the recording industry, a cut-out refers to a deeply discounted or remaindered copy of an LP, 45 RPM single, cassette tape, compact disc or other item. This was and still is common in the U.S. and rather unknown in other parts of the world. Defacement of the packaging but not the media prevents a retailer or buyer from returning a product for an undiscounted credit.
