I had a little Bruckner 8th grudge match yesterday (Carlo Maria Giulini vs. 1976 Karajan - winner Giulini) and I noticed that the prior owner of the Giulini LP was nice enough to include 20 pages of a 1966 Chicago Symphony orchestra program in the LP box (Bruckner 8th, Wagner Tristan and Isole leibestod).In other LPs, I've found poems, shopping lists, and other things.
What interesting things have you found?
Follow Ups:
of Pavarotti's recital on the NJ turnpike!, in a mint "O Sole Mio" LP and also some artists' signed records of course.

written by somebody who was obviously on drugs and who owned one of my strata-east records.
My best aquisition ever was a great collection of classic jazz albums (just about all NM) at a library sale. They were all stamped with the signature of one owner.In a copy of Ella Fitzgerald at the Opera House, I found a clipping from a 1955 issue of the Pittsburgh Courier, an African-American newspaper. In a column called "Izzy Rowe's Notebook" was a review of that record, entilted "Lady, You Are Good!"
"If anybody wants to be assured as to why the singer of all singers, Ella Fitzgerald, is topping her own attendance record at Mr. Kelly's in Chicago, all they need do is listen to her latest wax wonderment...it sounds off with a yon and there, dash and daring that's a hi-fi tallow talent."
A taste of the time when it was all new, not to mention a sense of the man who collected this great music.
I have a lady's opera collection, and she kept every review of the albums from Opera News and the NYT. Great stuff.
Found a brochure of a performance of Duke and his orchestra at the College of Great Falls autographed by Ellington and his band. Found in a copy of The Count Meets the Duke for the First Time bought at Amoeba Records in San Francisco
I picked up a copy of the 1964 cast album of Marc Blitztein's legendary opera The Cradle Will Rock. Inside was a Playbill for the 1983 Broadway revival signed by John Houseman, the director of the revival and the original producer of the show back in 1937.
the day before of Buddy Holly. I picked up the habit and have done the same for 20+ years now.
by a Debby Wilson, January 4, 1971. Album: The French Scene
Found inside Joes Garage Vol. 1.
The press operator must have fallen asleep while it cooled on the stamper.
From a record shop in Ann Arbor- listed as legal, because pot is de-criminalized in the city.
Encore is my favorite, but I miss the knowledge of the classical guys at SKR.
Of someone's girlfriend (or young wife). It was found in a Zombies record a last year. Nude girls looked a lot different back then - a real lot different. Sorry I had to throw them away under wife's orders.
Nude women looked different in the '70s? I think you might be right:all hair matches color
all hair present
no mid-section piercings
no tatoos (unless she was a biker chick)
no full body tan in January
God I hate those
From a Playboy ad celebrating its 35 years in Brazil. No further comment is needed I guess.

I find myself slipping into that quagmire of improper grammar even as I write about it.
"Songs of the Free".
Picked it up at a tag sale at a North Shore Mansion.
Elton John ticket stubs from Dodger Staduim show in 1974. Found in a great copy of Good-Bye Yellow Brick Road.
Bought a record at a flea market for two-bucks, got home and found a fifty inside.Cool.
That's better than cool.
In a Prestige Coltrane 2-fer gatefold ("Dakar").
I've been looking for them for years. Norm

Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
