I need to do some research....Been collecting since late 80's...Started with 60's Psychedelic bands and Classic Rock...Have over 700 albums at present...Only thing that made it through my divorce...lol

[@staffcarpenborg]

if you still have those 60's psych' records they are worth an absolute shit ton.. I was lucky to find The Seeds in a thriftstore (sealed) as well as two original Beatles (mono press) UK released records for $2 AUD a piece.. couldn't believe my luck. I felt like a thief as I left the store..

staffcarpenborg with the renewed interest in vinyl , I reckon thrift stores might have revised their 2$ stock

[@staffcarpenborg]

indeed a lot have.. this was a few years ago though. but the weird thing about the Beatles finds was that particular thriftstore had a separate section which was allocated for more pricier records. someone working there must've not been aware and placed the LPs with all the ordinary records. I just kept my head down, paid and got out of there as quickly as possible

[@nigeltant]

I know my most valuable LP is Led Zeppelin 1 first UK pressing, with the label error, turquoise lettering on the cover etc….I bought it from a friend in 1969 for £1.

[@mojorisen74]

A few years back I made a KILLING on my grunge vinyl. I saw how much these elpee's were selling for and I just couldn't justify keeping them. Just for my original Soundgarden presses alone I made over $2,000. Alice in Chains Jar of flies/SAP vinyl I sold for $275.00, AIC Tripod I sold for $225.00. The most I got for any of them was the Orange vinyl Soundgarden "Superunknown". $500.00! I had all 4 colored vinyl versions of that album and made $1300.00 on just those albums!

[@RobertFithen]

I don't remember if I showed it in the video, but I have the same "Superunknown" except mine has a scratch in it. A deliberate scratch. College days.

[@sammeister6181]

Great Vid, Robert! Yeah that Alice Cooper must have been signed or sealed. You’re spot on about value being personal. Always nice to find a score on high-dollar discs, but the personal element is important too. Mega jealous of that Nirvana. I really wish I’d been in college radio about ten years earlier than when I was.

[@Theomite]

Unless you were collecting vinyl at the time, you would've passed on it. People were really phasing out vinyl purchases and so had you been there, you might not have gotten it. I know I didn't think about it back then.

[@alexshkoditch4593]

It ain't the autograph that made them so expensive, it IS the panties. Try and find one with those undies for cheap. I dare ya. Your copy, with pristine vinyl, $20 MAX

[@armandoarrojo9841]

[@justin123602]

[@TOOLnPRIMUS]

I recently got the reissue. Havent even opened it yet lol

[@cryptidproductions3160]

What little vinyl was being made in the 90s and 2000s was extremely short limited edition runs so anything desirable from that period is worth a lot of money. I think the original pressings of the two Garth Brooks albums that were actually released on vinyl are both over $100 purely because of scarcity

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

The most valuable record I have is a 1974 Pat Benatar single called Day Gig. This was five years before her debut album. There were 200 made and there were only released in Richmond, VA at the time. Rumor has it, half got destroyed soon afterwards. It's sold once on Discogs, and I'm the fool who bought it. I spent 275.00 with shipping. Another valuable album I own is actually a CD/DVD Box Set…Genesis 1970-1975. Its median price on Discogs is 210.03 and sold for as much as 300.00. My 1982-1998 box set goes for maybe half that. I also have a couple Jethro Tull CD/DVD box sets that sell for around 130.00. Other valuable albums that are on vinyl with their median value: Miles Davis- Kind of Blue [1959 pressing] 160.00 Danzig- How the Gods Kill [1992 pressing] 130.00 AC/DC- High Voltage [Original Australian cover from 1975] 130.00 Coxon’s Army- Live from Sam Miller Exchange Café [Pat Benatar’s first band from 1974] 100.00 Pearl Jam- original pressings of Vs, Vitalogy and No Code [44.00-100.00] Stevie Ray Vaughn- The Sky is Crying [1991 pressing] 80.00 Queensrÿche- The Promised Land [1994 pressing] 70.00 Atomic Rooster- Atomic Rooster [1970 UK pressing] 60.00 And then there are some recent RSD releases (Alice Cooper, The Crow Soundtrack, etc…) that go for over 100.00 nowadays. But I’m sure (rather sooner than later) they will come down in value.

[@dawnpatrol700]

Temple of the Dog and Almost Famous have been reissued. I didnt realize my Temple 2013 music on vinyl issue, was worth almost as much as an orig. Back in 91, i couldn't find Temple on vinyl, but i found Hunger Strike 12" w/ poster. I bought cds in the 90s, but my true love was vinyl, and i actively seeked it out. You're so right, how vinyl was considered a joke. My most valuable vinyl is the stuff i paid nothing for. In the 90s, i mail-ordered Cure's Wild Moodswings and Bloodflowers for $10 each. By 1994, most vinyl was mailorder. You had to get on a bunch of lists, and be mailed flyers, to even find out what was on vinyl. In those days, i would spend hours looking through flyers. I had a Goldmine subscrip, but they catered to old vinyl. I was stoked when i found out Hot Topic was carring vinyl in 2001. I bought Weezers Hashpipe on 45, upon checking it out.. Some awesome stuff flowed through Hot Topic over the years - got Strokes Is This It import vinyl w/alt cover and ny city, Danzig picture discs, tons of Iron Maiden. In 2010, Hot Topic had a clearance vinyl sale, and i got some Bad Religion, Sonic Youth, Misfits, Tool reissues for $3 each, seriously

[@iowaudioreviews]

Like anything, this stuff is only worth what someone will pay for it. Very nice collection sir.

[@scoobydookie4773]

my grandma is a huge prince fan and she owns majority of his albums like purple rain, controversy, black cover, white cover, 1999 etc. but too bad they're not in amazing condition plus she wrote her last name on them because she went to parties a lot but if i ever visit her again i can show em

[@WizzD]

Temple of the Dog got reissued in 2016. It's a nice 2LP set. It's about $25-$30. It may sound better than that old copy but I'm sure the old copy was going to be worth more anyway since it's the original. Good video.

[@milehighvinyl368]

I co-run an online record store here in Canada called Funky Moose Records, and our top valued record was Chad Allen and The Expressions (Guess Who?) Shakin' All Over which was a first pressing, sold for $299 to a customer in Spain. Most recently, we sold two Pink Floyd's signed by Roger Waters for $200 a piece. We have sold a ton of used albums, but generally, good rock albums sell for around the $10-$25 mark.

[@seanm3226]

In my (extensive) experience selling on Discogs, Europeans collect 80’s rap and everybody collects Pink Floyd.

[@wulyf4lyf]

A few of my grails: Captain Beefheart-Trout Mask Replica -1st press on Straight/complete VG+ Boris- Akuma no Ulta- 1st press mint Boris -Pink 1st press mint Beatles-White Album-White vinyl-unnumbered Velvet Underground &Nico - mono UK 1st press w misprint- VG+ Velvet Underground-S/T- 1st press Velvet Underground- White Light/White Heat Dead Kennedys- 1st press on Faulty records Joy Division-Unknown Pleasures-promo press That Tool Aenima is def one any Tool fan would pay for, as it’s their most sought after, but I’d take the original shrink off, as the pressure will cause the spine to flatten out or if it’s cut, will sometimes stick to the sleeve. Cool video. Always cool seeing other people who have been collecting for that long.

[@RobertFithen]

Out of those, I have the white vinyl White Album. Would love to find a UK 1st pressing of the White Album and Velvet Underground debut (banana intact).

[@joshuahughes153]

that is so cool

[@Claytone-Records]

Clementine *Daniels, I had Trout Mask Rep. on loan from the library when I was in high school in the mid 70’s. They told me to keep it until I left the Island when I graduated as no one had checked it out since it was released. I still love it. I only have it on cd now. I do have FZ’s 200 Motels lp, however. A recent find in vg shape, but missing the poster. I am giddy at finding it for pretty cheap considering. Cheers to all. Ps. I do have all kind of old stuff: Tull, Radiohead, Wes Montgomery, Classic lp’s, Firesign Theater and a few Zappa lp’s and a buttload of cd’s.

[@Plarocks]

The shrink wrap has been slit and removed. You can keep it around the album and the records will be fine in there. It is when you leave it sealed, and the shrink wrap gets tighter and then it warps the record. His IS the ideal copy as it is an original with all the hype stickers still attached to the open shrinkwrap. Wish I bought that thing when I saw it for $12.99!!! 😣

[@JeffLynnesELOFan]

From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums.

Temple Of The Dog has been officially re-released and it sounds great , I REALLY want the AIC "tripod" album, waiting patiently for an official re-release of that, AND Facelift! And of course Tool Lateralus and Aenema! I had a feeling the last 2 would be Misfits (Danzig also needs to re issue his solo stuff!)

[@mickschnabel]

@Atomic Duck Yep that reissue of Facelift sounds fantastic, which I think is a pretty hard thing to do, due to the strange sound quality that album has always had!

[@RUfromthe40s]

they re-re-re-release everything it´s a matter of waiting, i´m also a tool follower and have the first edition of temple of the dog in vinil ,before pearl jam released "ten"

[@VikoTheBassist]

My most valuable is also the AiC self-titled. I kinda had to have it because it’s my favorite album but it was ridiculously hard to find. Ordered it from a record store in Chicago. I live in Texas.

[@LuckeGabriel]

I found a bootleg for Temple of the Dog in Dresden, didn’t realise it was a bootleg, sounds tragic. Then in my local store I found an original and couldn’t believe it was being sold in its excellent condition for just £20. Sounds wayyyy better and I consider myself lucky as hell to get it for that cheap.

[@maxtheknife]

Peaches Records! Boy does that bring back great memories from my childhood!

[@kevinpatrickmacnutt]

I sold a few of my 90s records only really thinking my albums from the 60s and 70s were the valuable ones. Never thought the 90s would someday be "20+ years ago". Also stupidly gave away an orange Capitol copy of Sgt. Pepper because I never thought a 1975 reissue would be sought after and a mono promo copy of Led Zeppelin II was pretty beat up, although apparently is quite collectable.

[@daveidmarx8296]

Orange label Capitol Beatles LPs aren't really collectible and sound pretty crappy. As far as US albums are concerned, for best sound quality, I'd go with the 1983 rainbow label Capitol reissues. For collectibility, I'd go with the original mono versions.

[@DaleSteadman]

Thumbs up on the Peaches T-shirt!

[@kellygrudzinski184]

I dropped 275.00 on a Pat Benatar 45 from 1974 called Day Gig. She was pretty much still working in a bank when she cut that record. I'm glad I did it, and I would do it again.

[@RobertFithen]

Wow! That's a true rarity! I've never seen it anywhere.

[@Syncopator]

Interesting-- I'd like to find out the most valuable in my collection, but... I can't see myself entering some 15,000 records into Discogs to find out. Plus, I'm not convinced that value is necessarily connected to price. The thing is, my most prized and rare albums and singles are small pressings where there's a good chance not enough people even KNOW of their existence for them to have as much popularity to raise the price as some we're seeing here (though I'll have to find out what Misfits I have, may have a single-- will have to check). I used to scour the single bins in the 1980s and 90s for obscure punk/alternative bands and have a bunch of stuff probably nobody's ever heard of-- some of it great. Back then there were a lot of one-off limited releases (limited because hardly anyone heard of the bands, even back then). I'd think they'd be valuable (certainly collectible), but if nobody knows about them, it ain't gonna drive the price up-- so there's probably some really good collectibles out there for people to discover... Though I am wondering, where do you find the median price on Discogs-- I've not really used it before? I've got a first pressing of School's Out that still has the panties, and the only price I see on the page is one of 841 for sale with a lowest price of something like $1.69. While my copy might not be particularly valuable, the price I'm seeing on the page seems to be the lowest asking price-- I see one similar to mine sold on Ebay recently for $99, so I think the $1.69 is not a good judgement of what it might take in...

[@gornlockheart]

You have to find the version you have and it show how many of those have sold. Should have a filter where you can see a low-high price for what it's sold. Most mint or sealed sale for the highest price. Can also check it on popsike

[@stevenimeson902]

[@robviso]

I enjoyed your video very much...very cool stuff... & at the end you hold up that "butcher cover" beatles album...wtf ??? you crazy...phahahahah ;)), ;))...Now that thing is actualy realy worth something !!! thumbs up

[@erikt454]

I have a special edition 'School's Out' with underwear worn by Alice back in his boozing days, with enough DNA to clone Vincent Fournier when the technology becomes affordable. Just an attempt at humour. Cool video but I wanted to bring up high prices at some auctions, leading to some silly asking prices. Popsike shows radically different prices for the same pressings. So discogs highest is not only non-representative of going rates for many titles, but the average gets distorted as well, I think, leading people to expect three figure sums for popular records which aren't particularly rare. There's a lot of luck with auctioning anything. High end fine art runs the gamut, and sometimes everyone is thrilled by what was bid, other times surprised by lower winning bids. I bring this up, because often enough the startlingly high price of some rare records comes from 1 auction with two well off bidders in a war for the item. Also, I think a lot of recent releases that are 'manufactured rare' (i.e. limited colours of vinyl) are probably being hoarded by collectors and kept sealed and in mint, unplayed condition. So I'd hesitate to drop serious money on some of those mid and late 1990's albums. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all, just adding my two cents, which may be worth up to 1.02$ at auction. Plus 30$ shipping.

[@RobertFithen]

I just hope to get lucky and find things for cheap. I don't ever pay extremely high prices, that seems to take the fun out of it.

[@EastmanD]

if there are people who exist who will pay ridiculous prices FOR ANYTHING then the last person who should be ridiculed is the person who sold said item. Caveat Emptor anyone ? Unknowingly buying something worthless, however unfair, and "fault" have long been thrown in the lap of the buyer. It's a nasty business especially if the product is a necessity (eg. medication) but if the product is something as superfluous as an album, then dude, lumpy gravy.

[@johnmoreno96]

Great video, who knew that 90’s vinyl would become collectible. The only lp in your video that I have is, Alice Cooper’s Schools Out, white label promo, with the panties, report card and the cover folds into a school desk.

An original first edition of Mayhem's "Deathcrush" goes for $1,000+ as does Bathory's original self-titled first album (yellow goat). I have found that Discogs isn't a very good way to price vinyl records since people tend to overprice a record, then everybody else thinks that since somebody wants that much for theirs, everybody wants to sell their copy for the same or more. On top of that, people now use Discogs prices on Ebay, which are usually (always) ridiculous. I've been collecting vinyl since the mid 80s, mainly Metal though. I have had that Alice In Chains, but sold it a couple of years ago.

[@Mrdrivereight]

Thanks for posting this video man! I love going record shopping. The most valuable record I got from my uncle. When I told him in high school my favorite band was sonic youth. He gave me his special edition 2lp on orange vinyl wrapped in cloth with hand prints on it, REM unplugged 4lp(bought it new) tales of terror's LP. I love going to see live shows more now so I've been collecting live bootlegs in any forms 😍

If you are ever in the Colorado area check out wax trax, black and read, independent records and twist n shout.

B. J. THOMAS ~ Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head ~ 1969. Trust me the sonics and production are incredible.

[@RobertFithen]

I haven't heard it in years. I'll revisit that song soon.

[@Iamdjwillb]

I have some Madonna records that were only released as promotional... according to discogs, they're worth a ton of money. Cheapest starting at 9,999£ and the most expensive at 900,000£. They're extremely limited edition, one had 125 copies pressed (I have 3 still sealed), and the other had 10 copies pressed (I have 2). Warner Bros put a cease and desist on the second one... only 7 got sent out. Now I just need to find someone with insane money to buy them from me. Haha.

[@stephenag1]

Yeah keep vinyl alive! My collection is from mid 60’s to late 70’s. Old guy head banger.

[@monmixer]

I have about 300 of them. Mostly from the late 60's and 70's obviously. I don't even remember what is in those boxes. Some for sure. I used to be in those record clubs also and when CD's came out I asked them what they had that was never be pressed on CD. bought a bunch and never even opened them. I never bought cassettes or many 8 tracks. I just recorded my albums to cassette.

[@DCHurlford1]

I read in Record Collector UK magazine back in the early '90s that the picture disc vinyl edition (only 500 pressed) of Wings Back To The Egg album from '79 was worth about £1200 in mint condition.

I have a 45 of masters apprentices living in a child’s dream, sounds great and space oddity man who sold the world Bowie 45. 🤪

[@jimbosmith6327]

Apparently my most valuable record is Phish's Story of the Ghost. I ordered it from their website sometime in the early 2000s. Average $199, Highest $475!

[@BillyHurst]

Some awesome stuff in there, Robert. Love those Tool albums and the Misfits 45's. I was the same as you back in the 90's though. When I would go into a record store, I mostly ignored the newer vinyl pressings because I alreadsy had them on cd LOL Boy, was I a dummy!!

[@RobertFithen]

Me too. I could kick myself for all the records I traded in for cd's in the 90's.

[@_thevaporz]

Do not trust Discogs as fact. There are tons of shill buyers in the vinyl record collecting/selling business. It's pretty shady af.

[@mikeembleton8713]

Your right it's a shady business vinyl or record collecting. My friend had a cd shop and people use to try and sell him mass produced vinyl he use to tell them mass produced vinyl are worth very little. Stay lucky stay safe Mike UK.

[@chetthebee1322]

I don't have any really valuable ones but my brother has a 1958 10" vinyl EP pressed in South Africa by RCA of Elvis Presley and Janis Martin. Mint, original and very rare. Not the French reissue or bootleg. Average about $2,000 on Discogs but heard of one going for $5,000 at auction one time. The reason it's so valuable is it was only in pressing for a few hours until Colonel Parker shut it down because he didn't like that EP was called Janis and Elvis instead of Elvis and Janis.

[@RobertFithen]

Janis & Elvis is QUITE a find!

About 5 years ago I got that Halloween 45 on vinyl but it must be a reissue

[@wesolutions2838]

I worked in a used record store and when a record is clipped on the corner it is not a promotional copy it is a discounted copy and the store will lower the price of said copy. A true Promotional copy will have a white label on the LP itself with black ink that says Promotional Copy on it. Now there are some that have a gold Promotional Copy stamp on the cover but that is not a true promo copy from the label itself. It is sent out to some radio stations and it is not supposed to be resold even used from a store.

[@RobertFithen]

I work in radio. A record sleeve with a cut corner or hole-punch could also be a post-release promo. (A basic retail version made into a promo by cutting or hole drilling.) Gold stamps and white labels are pre-release promo copies.
