I have a friend who works in a shop in town here and recently strted using the term "wonky-hop" to describe some records (and I don't consider this to be totally daft, I know what records she means). This seems to have caught on in no time and not just locally (they have a well distributed mail out) - soon after she coined it she's overheard the use of it on plenty of occasions. So something like that, short and descriptive may have a good chance of success.
