In 1968, Reprise Records held a competition for exactly that to promote the new album by their recent signing, The Fugs. A version of the ad is on this page. In the Nov. Vanity Fair, Nick Tosches tells about one entry that read, "I would like to go out with Tuli, because I would like him to fuck me. PS: Even if I don't win I would still like it."

Tell me about some other colorful episodes in the music hucksterism.

WB did the same promotion with the Grateful Dead during Anthem of the Sun. Except it was WIN A DATE WITH PIGPEN!!! i am not joking.
