With the rise of FM radio in the late '60's, AM top forty stations struggled to stay hip and relevant. In the world of top forty, a song was considered an oldie if it was more than a few months old. Stations would lease masters and release them in low cost compilations. I've seen these in other markets. It's possible they were the same pressings with a different radio station on the cover.
KHJ was one of the primary AM radio rock outlets in Los Angeles. In their effort to stay relevant, they released a compilation with the cover below.
It really is kind of creepy. Peace sigh contact lenses and a mouth sealed shut shrunken head style with 'love.'
Not to be outdone, rival AM station KRLA released these things as well.
