Not sure it's my best, but cleaning new records today. My MoFi of The Cars first album says "Nuclear Boots" on side A and "Substitution Mass Confusion" on side B.

Follow Ups:
On my 1976 (Waddell pressing) copy of 'Tejas' by ZZ Top, there is a the outline / shape of the State of Texas etched into the dead wax.
I always though that was pretty cool.
in the deadwax of the greatest progressive rock bad EVER in 1976 (in my opinion, mind you) 'Happy The Man' first album on the runout groove is
'turn me over' and
side B has 'play me again'
If you pick up the tonearm too soon, you won't hear it- fooled me back then
Side two of The Moody Blues On the Threshold of a Dream never ends. The music is cut clear to the end of the run out grove.

Have Fun and Enjoy the Music
"Still Working the Problem"
Pink Floyds' Atom Heart Mother has a dripping tap on the runout on one side.

I don't own this disc but heard this story on the Vinyl Guide podcast.
Back in the day Jimmy Page was obsessed with occultist Aleister Crowley and he wanted one of Crowley's sayings written in the deadwax in LZIII. Apparently, the first pressings have this phrase but a small proportion have the phrase written slightly wrong. The theory is that Page was there for the lacquer cutting and supervised the handwritten phrase in the deadwax. Once satisfied he left but the mastering engineer had to cut more lacquers because a lot of metal work would be required for a large pressing run. Likely, the mastering engineer got the phrase wrong on one of those lacquers so most stampers have it correct but a fraction of stampers have the phrase wrong.
Side 1: - So Mote Be it -
Side 2: - Do What Thou Wilt -
What is the "slightly wrong" phrase you referred to?
Here is the link to that episode of the Vinyl Guide. It should be at the 28 minute timestamp, if not that is where he discusses the LZIII deadwax.
Well, that wasn't much help. He doesn't know how or when the permutations of the two inscriptions (and the alternate "So mote it be") were inscribed. My album meets all the requirements of the first U.S. pressing that he describes - catalog number SD7201 and Broadway address - but the two inscriptions are on opposite sides of the album. According to him, "Do What Thou Wilt" should be Side 1, and "So Mote Be it" should be Side 2. I would be interested to know his source for this. One thing he doesn't mention is the copyright, but maybe they're all the same? Mine reads 1970.

I always like the Bobby Darin albums that had his signature in the dead wax.
