Your favorite "extra" when you buy an LP

A good friend of mine owned a record store. One day a couple came in with a relative's records from an estate. They were pretty common stock, so my friend offered them a few dollars for the batch. They agreed to the price and left.

A few days later he was cleaning them up to put out on the shelf and he felt a lump inside one of the covers. He dumps it out on the counter and there were three one hundred dollar bills. He had no idea who the people were or where they lived so he couldn't return it.

People used to hide all sorts of stuff inside the record jackets. In my finds I've turned up porn, dope, newspaper clippings, photos and ticket stubs, but no money. :dunno:

I will now be headed to the local antique store.
 
th


inside this there was also a fold-up of this poster:

The paper panties with Alice Cooper's "School's Out" were pretty cool, as was the "Institute of Nude Wrestling" book cover included in his "Muscle of Love" box.
 
Not sure about best. I do like when a CD copy of the album is included.

The worst may be what I found in a copy of Van Halen's "Women and Children First" I picked up at a thrift. Inside was still the fold out poster of DLR shirtless in leather pants chained to a fence. I knew dude was full of himself, but this takes narcissism to a whole new level.

The deed to a square foot of land in Wales included in Manfred Mann's The Good Earth is my all-time favourite.
