Per 
TO-DO:
1. Double check and be sure that all of the artists were A. successful and relevant during the year they are listed under, B. for artists you're unfamiliar with, be sure that they are active during those years
2. Clean up writing; make it more formal. Study more typical lingo. Improve the containment procedures, as that entire section is messy.
3. Remove extraneous details.
4. Maybe introduce an image roulette of various album artwork? Would require some more Photoshop effort. Get the article reviewed before then at the risk of, you know, having a terrible article and then wasting all that time image editing for nothing.
5. A lot of the stuff here gets convoluted. Make it concise.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All current instances of [SCP] that are labelled under non-deceased musician or a band with members who are currently alive, whether or not they're still official members of the band, must be contained within [location] behind a lock that can only be accessed by Level ?? faculty. All instances of [SCP] that involve an already deceased musician or a band whose members and ex-members are deceased are to be kept behind a lock that can be accessed by Level ?? faculty.
Record shops that keep their catalogs online on services such as Discogs must be monitored at all times web crawlers to detect instances of [SCP]. Any and all record shops must be equipped covertly with [name of thing that detects presence of anomalies] as well as a microphone. If the device is discovered, class-A(?stronger?) amnestics should be administered to all in the record store at the time of discovery as well as anybody who heard or witnessed it (rephrase this). Should the presence of an anomaly be detected, MTF team (? think of name) will respond by infiltrating the corresponding record store and confiscate the record followed by providing class(?)amnestics to anyone inside. Should anyone have bought the record before MTF could respond, the person will be apprehended, interviewed, and provided class(?) amnestics before taking the record.
[Change it so that it's not the entire band that's killed but rather a random member.]
Description: [SCP] is a series of instances of 12" vinyl record LPs all with the album title O, Glorious Day!
The record manifests within a random record shop in the United States on January 1st, 0:00 every year. The artist or band that the album is supposedly by varies each year with the only consistent trend being that the artist or band for each instance is a random selection of either a presently alive solo artist or a band who has members and/or ex-members who are presently alive. The artists/bands selected are typically culturally or on the brink of being culturally relevant, though this is not always the case. Despite the location of the manifestations, the artists do not have to be American to be affected.
Each SCP instance is titled corresponding to the year it manifested, i.e., the first discovered
instance being SCP-XXXX-1959 having been discovered in 1959.
The track listing for each record is the exact same, and so is the composition of the songs when played (see addendum so and so). The only difference between each album is that the tracks are sung/performed by the corresponding artist/band that the title is labelled under. The final track on the album is the "title track", named "O Glorious Day!". Unlike the other tracks, it is the exact same on each album with the same unknown humanoid voice singing the lyrics in English. Once the end of the
track is reached, the turntable's needle breaks. The track's grooves immediately turn into sandpaper, but the rest of the LP is unaffected. As a result, the final track is unable to be listened to after the transformation occurs.
Upon listening to the final track, the artist/ a random member or ex-member of the band on the front cover are immediately killed by an unknown entity amorphous, viscous creature (hereby designated SCP-XXXX-1) that smothers the artist(s) individually before pulling it through the hole it came from. See test log(…).
The first discovered instance of SCP-XXXX was SCP-XXXX-1959, but two previous entities,
SCP-XXXX-1957 and -1958 were discovered soon after due to all three being in the possession of ███████ Miller, a middle-aged Caucasian male residing in ███████, Kansas. Upon asking where he obtained the records,he gave the location of the local record shop ██████████████████. Miller was provided with class-B(?) amnestics after the interview concluded. See interview (list number).
The three artists on the -1957, -1958, and -1959 were, respectively were Ritchie Valens, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Buddy Holly. ███████ Miller listened to all three albums upon purchase, despite having noticed the anomalous properties of each one, leading to the deaths of all three.1 The Foundation covered up their deaths to the general public by framing a plane crash that contained replicas of all three, and was piloted by a D-class personnel who was soon to be terminated. Any witnesses who saw the death of any of the three were implanted with false memories.
In 1980, a failure to enforce Special Containment Procedures led to the purchase of SCP-XXXX-1980 by Mark David Chapman. The artist on the front of -1980 was John Lennon. The album was listened to while Lennon was in front of his New York estate(Apartment?), leading to the public witnessing SCP-XXXX-1. In a panicked decision Mark David Chapman was framed for the death by the Foundation, a decision later criticized by the Ethics Committee (is that what it's called?).

Addendum: List of Contained Instances
List of every instance of SCP up until 2000 (rest is for high level access employees only). Unsuccessful and "close call" containment operations indicated where present.
Note from Doctor so and so: For the last time, please stop spreading the rumor that SCP-XXXX-1970 was not able to be contained before being acquired. The Foundation has already confirmed the veracity of SCP-XXXX-1970 and have even done an autopsy to quell the rumors, yet they still persist. Not every unexpected death of an artist is a setup by the Foundation. Hendrix had a well established history of drug abuse. The fact that that year's instance reflected an artist who died was either a coincidence or a "foreshadowing" on the part of the anomaly creating the SCP instances.
