Can anyone explain why certain LP's used to have a "cut-out hole" in them, usually in the upper right or left portions of the album cover? Did this also apply to 8-track tape cartridges as well?

It indicated a cutout - a title dropped from the catalogue and sold at a reduced price. Unlike paperback and comic books, where the cover was cut off by the dealer and returned for credit, I believe this was only done to keep the cutout from being returned as a full-price purchase.
