you may remember vinyl singles and albums,
like this one that I am sure was in many people's collection, but here is the thing, have you still got it in your collection? the reason I ask is in the article, it list 14 records that are worth a combined total of US $1.5million! above, the first pressing of Bob Dylan's classic album was recalled,
creating a market for the early copies of his masterpiece that got into
circulation, Columbia Records, year: 1963, format: 12-inch vinyl,
33-1/3 rpm. One of rock's most iconic and romantic album covers features Dylan and his lady love walking a wintery New York
City street, if you were lucky enough to bag a first pressing of
"Freewheelin'," which mistakenly included four songs
not intended for release, you've got a hot record on your hands, before
Columbia Records promptly recalled the erroneous discs, a small number got out,
today, a mono copy is worth about $15,000, and should you unearth a
first-pressing stereo version (only two copies are known to exist), bank on at
least $30,000,
Capitol, year: 1966, format: 12-inch vinyl, 33-1/3
rpm the Beatles' ninth album on their U.S. label, Capitol Records, is beloved
by collectors thanks to its infamous "butcher cover" showing the band
dressed in white smocks, surrounded by decapitated baby dolls and hunks of raw,
bloody meat, Paul McCartney suggested the controversial image was a
comment on the Vietnam War, but squeamish record store dealers were hearing
none of it. Capitol immediately caved and recalled the album a day after its
release, yet many copies made it into the public's hands and nowadays command
anywhere from $12,000 to $125,000, depending on condition and whether it's a
mono or much-scarcer stereo version,
Columbia/Amazon, Year: 1959,format: 12-inch vinyl, 33-1/3 rpm what you want is Davis' hard-bop classic on Columbia Records' so called "6-eye label," which sells for about $1,000 on eBay, these are just 3 from the list, so start digging out the attic or basement today!
