I just noticed one on an LP in a local store the other day. The original price tag was $2.99 and the local shop is now selling it for $12.

I like leaving them on--it adds a bit to the story at helps to remind me of where I got it.

Sometimes I had to leave price stickers on a CD because I knew that they would be impossible to remove without leaving a sticky residue - particularly CDs from abroad (Spain and Japan especially). Also, some producers would have a little seal that went from front to back on the jewel case that was impossible to remove in its entirity.
I once had a secondhand CD from eBay where the seller added a price sticker to the actual CD. It made the CD unplayable.

I've had that residue problem a number of times. Sometimes, in a failed attempt to remove it, there have been partial sticker, partial residue. Same applies to other forms of promotional stickers too.
Fortunately, I can easily replace the jewel case with a brand new one -- unless it's a digipack. I realize that for LPs, that is trickier.
We have a thing in the US called Goo Gone that is basically just citrus oil that removes residue from plastic really easy and doesn't leave a film behind. Smells terrible, works great!

I spent a few years in the late 70s slinging records at a Peaches Records and Tapes. I will never, ever forget those big fat orange price stickers.
P.S. You all remember the Peaches crate kits? Well, when I started they did not have the kits. What they did was send each employee in the backroom every day where we each took the end pieces, the slats, Elmer's Glue, and a hammer and nails and built three of the sorriest-looking crates you ever saw every day. After a few months of that, they hit on the idea of selling the crate kits--and charging more than they did for the built ones.
