Unexpected bonus objects found in record covers/sleeves??

[KoolChris]

Has anyone found interesting bonus "presents" left by previous owners in second-hand record sleeves?? Presumably having fallen in during moves, cleaning up, or placed in covers used as temporary hideouts and forgotten there.

Since the day I found money, I systematically check inside covers each time I get a new record.

I've at least twice found dollar bills ($5 + $10), several calling cards, a Bazooka wrapper, and, lately, letters by 2 different people.

The first letter I found was in French, and was obviously a draft by a woman for her boyfriend/lover. This was quite touching, as she was trying to describe how powerful her feelings were towards the guy, and how only he was able to do that to her, but how everyday situations proved difficult with him, for lack of mutual understanding. The letter was as explicit (orgasm descriptions, sexual practices) as it would be towards a trusted and loved person, and as such, was quite beautiful. I have no idea if the draft was forgotten there after or before the final letter was sent, or if the whole subject was dropped. I don't remember which record this was found in.

The latest set of letters was found in a copy of Paul Vincent's "Gay Rock For Anita", I mail-ordered from the US. These seemed to be proper letters that weren't sent because the now yellowed paper was very neat, as was the style, and writing. A certain Gene was writing a Les and a Bill, proposing to meet him in NY. He was married, his wife being clueless to his newfound orientation: after a brief encounter in the men's room in an airport, he'd discovered a lust for men. Again, the letters were very explicit, and much less classy than the woman above's letter. He was basically explaining he wanted to be dominated, used as a sex slave, and would pay for all expenses to fly the guys to NY and have them stay in motels. One was a follow-up letter to someone he'd already met, the other seemed like an answer to a paper ad. Both letters were very neatly folded as to fit in standard envelopes, and yellowed around the edges, which makes me think they could be from around the time the record was released.

Has anyone else found interesting unexpected bonuses inside used record covers ???
