Most valuable LP

I gave away my most valuable album, Beatles Butcher, NM,( perhaps my only really valuable album) to a very dear friend, Danny Cudmore, who had been especially helpful to me. Back in the late 90’s. He was a walking encyclopedia of Rock n Roll and a collector.  His appreciation, no Joy, gave me a very wonderful feeling that has lasted. Still makes me smile. That’s lasting value :)

@tablejockey i saw them , mostly her WOW at Agora Ballroom in Columbus, Ohio - she had duct tape over certain attributes.. perhaps a nod to solid Midwest family values....

the music was horrid

great show

"I have one The Plasmatics. Killer cover with typical  80’s punk songs."

Saw WOW and the Plasmatics in 1980 at Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip in Hollyweird. Had no idea who they were. Just dropped in with friends to listen to a band.

Woman with exposed, big fake boobs working a chainsaw and loud amps. What else does an 18 year old need? Great show!

By today's standards, just ain't gonna happen.

First pressing of Beatles Rubbber Soul. It was my older sister that gave it to me when I was probably 10. Bkeskee, those old punk 45’s are always worth a few bucks.  I have one The Plasmatics. Killer cover with typical  80’s punk songs.

I don't know the value of anything in my collection.  I suppose the Mobile Fidelity complete box sets of Beatles and Rolling Stones are worth something (given to me as a gift from a friend who also gave away to someone else a Butcher cover Beatles album).  For a while, my Neil Young "On the Beach" was worth something because it was not reissued in CD for the longest time.  

I have a number of supposedly valuable Jazz recordings, though no original Blue Notes, but, I've not actually tried to price them.

Some of my personal favorite finds were $1 records at a used record shop.  I particularly like the "Missa Criolla" by Los Frontieros on Argentinian Philips.  This is a very early recording of this mass, done by a folk group, and I like it more than the recordings later made by "serious" opera stars.

LPs can’t hold a candle 🕯 to cassettes in terms of value 💰

A tape of the "original" Beatles Esher Demos on which the George Gobel tracks were not edited out.

Priceless.

MFSL Nirvana, Nevermind.  

According to Discogs, mine is actually a 45. A punk record, The Stimulators, Loud Fast Rules. I purchased it new in a NYC record store in the St Marks Square area, close to CBGB’s; I believe Subway Records. That was in 1980 during my punk/new wave period.

Discogs states in the condition it is in, barely played with the original insert, has sold for $250 to $700+. I would say if I was patient, I could easily get $500 for it.

I was kinda shocked, and immediately put in in a plastic outer sleeve.

Tom Petty Wildflowers - I remember going into this record shop a bunch of times and being too cheap to pony up the $40 or whatever they were asking for it at the time.  Finally grabbed it months later still one of my all time favourite albums and the sound quality is outstanding on this one as well.

MFSL Beatles box set; purchased new and mostly unplayed.  Number 4300 something from the first pressing.  

I have a sealed MFSL of Billie Holiday I bought around 30 years ago, no idea what thats worth. Might not be worth crap. I have a box set of Rolling Stones albums I bought in the 70’s, black box with name in sparkly glitter,came with a black glitter tee shirt. Taped it to cassette and havent touched it since.

Bought This for .49 cents at a local thrift shop.  I live in a city with one of the top music schools in the US so I suspect this came from a prof's collection.  I have priced it from $100 to $299 on the web.  lol
in mint condition, very sight wear on cover

A Mercury Living Presence Janos Starker Dorati Dvorak Cello Concerto Bruch LP Mercury SR90303 RFR-3 Stereo ED1

I bought a bunch of RCA Living Stereo shaded dogs and Mercury Living Presence LPs in the late 80s, about 150 LPs, from an antique book collector for $450 and sold them to a guy visiting the DC area from Tennessee two weeks later for $4000.

A 1953 mono three-record box set of Milstein playing solo Bach in mint condition. I bought it for a dollar at a thrift store and sold it years later on eBay for $461.00. A friend, now again, years later, recently sold the identical set on eBay for $750.00. 

I imagine that some of my original 50s jazz recordings would be worth a lot these days, especially the early Blue Notes. That, however, will be up to my heirs to discover, as I have no intention of selling them at this point in my late life. .

I have a very nice Second State Stereo copy of Yesterday and Today by the Beatles.  Never tried to peel it and probably never will.  I've seen some pretty horrific peels.

First pressing Woodstock album is my most precious.I have no idea if it's worth very much.

Original stryper lp- to hell,w the,devil, org,cover.

cool cover art

@big_greg 

 nice!

I think it's my original pressing of G'N'R Appetite for Destruction with the original banned cover art.

Krokus 1976 s/t LP
Venom records.
mamas boys origonal s/t 10 track LP on pussy label (pu004)

several others.

My Casino Royale?  Who knows?  Who knows if it's now only worth a dime?  BTW, I filched it from my cousin's seemingly abandoned record collection...that had been idly sitting in the room of his childhood home for a good ten years.
