What's the best thing you've ever found in a record sleeve? (1 Viewer)

I found a little Barry Murphy in a second hand copy of the Fall's Code Selfish.

Hillarious and contradictory nazi slogans writen on the sleeve of old punk records. The usual wrong-way-round swastikas beside anarchy signs and my personal favourite "Southhill* uber alles!"

*Limerick's most infamous estate

I bought a Coil record online that turned out to have a letter written by John Balance to somebody called Mark, a few stickers and extra inserts, and was signed by Coil too. If the eejit selling it had mentioned that fact they probably could have quadrupled or quintupled the price. Their eejitness was my gain.

I bought a Madness record once whose previous owner was one Marty Whelan.

,. i've got an electro hippies - the only good punk lp with loads of graffitti and some blood on the inner sleeve and sham 69's first lp with writing about southhill punks. both bought in limerick. i got a swedish punk record once second hand that had a second 7" inside the sleeve.

a copy born to run by bruce springsteen... not too unexpected tho, cos the cover was abit of a give away.

Bought the 12" of 'Don't Go' by Yazoo and the actual album 'Upstairs at Erics' was in the sleeve instead of the 12".

That crushed penny in the first Godspeed Lp was a nice touch although it was intentional and not "found"

 

[Goodbye]

A wad of old wedding present ticket stubs in a second hand wedding present single...

Years ago I bought the Six Pack single by Black Flag in a secong hand shop for a quid... when I got home, the TV Party single was in the same plastic sleeve... Bonus!

Remember that Manchester band "Intastella" from the nineties, recorded something with Shaun Ryder? They stamped a blob of acid onto the cover of one of their singles. The drummer's now in the fall, says they got into big shit over it.

i found an article on David Crosby from the NME in 1970something in a copy of Deja Vu (CSNY) that my aunt gave me. I have found nothing else in sleeves bar records.

 

[Ciarán R]

oh, i got four tet -rounds on vinyl and they gave a booklet inside it which would be for the cd as well but I'm sure that was with every copy but cool anyway

the CD in the Shellac vinyl box set was funny...for about five seconds. the record itself was of course anything but funny.

was that in the "emporors new clothes" album?

??? eh, sure.

Glen, it played alright. What I meant in a snide way was that I didn't like the album much so the gimmickry of a free CD didn't do it for me.
but sure each to their own i suppose.
